The weekend began on Friday when my two year old Godson, Matty and his parents Dena and Victor brought me a mango delicacy prepared for UB. Sunday was a very special Father's Day. So special that it may be one to always remember fondly and for a few reasons.

My wife Yirong and I were prepared to spend a quiet day at home since we have been traveling recently, it was a welcome opportunity to not only relax but to save some bucks since my daughters live on the west coast and I am in NYC and those airfares quickly add up.

The following fathers Day feature story was not easy to pass up and points out that International and cultural family norms are surely changing all over the world.

No one could ever have imagined, especially Josue, a Hispanic Puerto Rican that his actions would eventually make him once, twice, three times a daddy of several generations of children on the same year.

Besides being the male parent of a child, the paternal bonds of a father to his children are precious and unique. A DaD has a loving, legal and social relationship with the child that carry certain rights and obligations.

Fathers unable to change diapers or having trouble getting our babies to go to sleep, and other gender stereotypes are history, as far as I’m concerned.

This is what occurs when someone thinks that if they do or say something wrong repeatedly, some uninformed people will believe it.

I can say it but I don’t want to say it but some people said it was the best speech ever made by a president in Europe. But I did not say that I’m just quoting other people. Who are these other people? Are they also clueless?
