Thinking about the time I, as a non-Muslim, non-religious teenager, fasted during Ramadan with my dad which was actually now that I think about it a subconscious (& desperate) attempt to bond with him and find common ground.

I'm 28 and it has just dawned on me that that is what I was doing 11 years ago

He was so happy and proud of me and for once we sat together and ate together and bonded over being thirsty together and when we broke fast he made me a cup of tea

I was just talking to my boyfriend about our happy memories with our parents and that was what jumped out at me first when thinking about my dad, him making me tea

He had done it badly, he never made me English breakfast tea before, he didn't know you're meant to let it brew first before putting in milk, and he left the tea bag in

But it was delicious because my dad made it for me

The amount of daddy issues I have which I've barely scratched the surface of are immense.
