Countless stories have been\u00a0recounted\u00a0about parents of all ages,\u00a0deprived\u00a0of\u00a0seeing their children and grandchildren and for a variety of different reasons\u00a0such as respecting public health ordinances for the broader\u00a0good of our communities to\u00a0just\u00a0playing it safe\u2013just in case, which will make\u00a0these last 18 months assuredly go down into the books of history and of future posterity.<\/p>\n

Fathers play a significant role in the lives of their children. They are their heroes, and their protector, or so they try to be as dads. As the adage goes, parenthood (and being a dad) does not come with a\u00a0how-to<\/em>\u00a0manual, but slowly, day by day, through life experiences.<\/p>\n

As I look back onto this extremely difficult\u00a0year,\u00a0we have all lived through, my thoughts invariably go to my own little champion, my son Noah, and the millions of children just like him who looked upon their fathers for guidance, even comfort, at this complex time, when we were, ourselves, searching for our own way.<\/p>\n

It is said that children look up to their\u00a0dads\u00a0as their heroes. I am not certain if I fit that role these last difficult months. However, Noah, and kids just like him around the globe have certainly become my heroes.<\/p>\n

This Father\u2019s Day, on behalf of the great\u00a0Boiron\u00a0Canada<\/strong> team, I would like to\u00a0honour\u00a0and celebrate all dads. They have shown outstanding\u00a0fortitude\u00a0and determination during these unprecedented, and also rich in challenges and questioning times. To all fathers everywhere, you will always be our heroes, no matter how old we are.<\/p>\n

Thanks for everything dad\u2026<\/p>\n
