Father’s Day

“Long periods of peace foster certain optical illusions: one is the conviction that the inviolability of the home is grounded in the constitution, which should guarantee it. In reality, it is grounded in the family father, who, sons at his side, fills the doorway with an axe in his hand.”
-Ernst Junger.
I have a new son-in-law and he and my daughter have had their first baby. I see the burden he feels to provide for his family and make it possible for my daughter to raise their child, and for him to also. It is almost crushing him but he staggers on. My heart goes out to him.
