I won't get to spend the day with you. I won't get to buy you a present that you'd probably never use but would pretend to love anyways. I won't be able to give you a hug and tell you that I love you. I will, instead, get to watch in envy as all the other people I know get to spend the day with their dads. I will walk past the card displays without buying a card. No presents that have "#1 Dad!" printed on the side of them will be bought.

All the advertising and commercials about Father's Day can seem taunting. I do not have a dad to celebrate Father's Day with. Instead, I have an angel who watches over me.

It never gets easier realizing I won't be celebrating Father's Day with my dad. If I could skip the whole day in general, I would without a doubt. While this may seem a little bitter, I wish the holiday simply didn't exist. I'm not the only one who doesn't have a dad to celebrate with, so why should the ones lucky enough to have a dad only tell them how much they are loved and appreciated one day of the year? It isn't fair. But then I realize, no matter how much I wish the holiday would just disappear, that isn't going to happen.

So, to everyone out there who doesn't have a father to celebrate Father's Day with, you are not alone. It's okay to feel angry. It's okay to feel jealous or sad, or whatever other feelings you're feeling. It's a tough day, but remember that your dad loved you, and now you have a beautiful angel watching over you and keeping you safe. Make him proud.

And, to everyone out there who does have a father to celebrate Father's Day with, remember how lucky you are. Not everyone has what you have. Don't take your dad for granted. And please, please make sure you tell him how much you love him every day. Don't wait until Father's Day to show him how important he is to you. Let him know every single day, because someone else is wishing they could wrap their arms around their dad one more time, and while they may not be able to, you are.

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing fathers, angels included.
