ABBOTSFORD, B.C.—When I was growing up, we did not celebrate Father’s Day or Mother’s Day in my family. But last year, Father’s Day was infused with new meaning for me. On Monday, June 11, six days before Father’s Day, my father could barely stand because he was in so much pain. Two days later, on Father’s Day, my mother and I went to pick some flowers for him. So for me Father’s Day is no longer a faux holiday.
