As yet another Father's Day draws to a close, I'd like to extend my thanks to those who've made this an extra special day for me.

My first thanks needs to go to my wife and son (the latter pictured above with yours truly), without whom I'd have no reason to greedily collect handclaps, cards, pats on the back and gifts all day today!

Also big respect goes out to those positive brothers from the Caricom Caribbean Restaurant in Warner Street, Birmingham (with a little help from Sting FM) for surprising all the fathers in the house with gifts and kind words. It's not often us Black fathers are even acknowledged, never mind celebrated. It was more than just the rice and peas and jerk chicken that brought joy to my heart this afternoon!

And government legislation is trying to minimise the role of fathers in their kids' lives too! I'm sure the beaming smiles of the all kids in Caricom, not to mention all the others around the country blessed enough to have loving fathers in their lives, have a different story to tell.

Goodnight!
