Can I Be a Good Father if I Never Had One?

I was 4 years old when my father died. Now I’m a father myself.

My son and I after he turned one.

I don’t remember too much from my early childhood, but this scene is burned into my memory. It was the day I found out my father died.

It’s maybe a 30-second memory. I was standing in the hallway. The walls were white and the carpet was beige.
