In a World of Uncertainty, Love Holds
This Father’s Day today, June 15, 2025, arrives under heavy skies.
In just the past few months, the world has shifted. Tariffs have shaken economies. Global alliances are strained. Food prices are making holes in our pockets. Tensions in the Middle East—especially in Gaza and now Iran—grow more dangerous by the day.
Across newsrooms and living rooms, people are wondering: Where is this going?
Is this the start of something much worse?
Is peace even possible anymore?
It’s hard to say. But amidst the confusion and fear, today offers us a pause. A breath. A chance to look at something steady, something still strong.
Fathers.
All Fathers: the men, women, and guardians who carry the weight of others through crisis.
To the Fathers Around the World
To the fathers who had great role models—and those who didn’t.
To the fathers working double shifts, worried about jobs or living under air raid sirens.
To the fathers who try not to show fear in front of their children.
To the fathers who carry both heartbreak and hope in their pockets.
To the mothers who are also fathers and to the two Fathers. To the uncles, grandfathers, teachers, and neighbours who step up as Fathers.
To the fathers who aren’t just focused on making their kids happy, but making them whole.
To the Fathers who drive their kids to soccer, football, cricket or wherever and live vicariously in harmony.
To all of you: today is yours.
Love in Times of Crisis
In Gaza, a father holds his child tighter than ever, unsure of what tomorrow brings.
In Tehran, a father whispers bedtime stories, blocking out the sound of rockets.
In Michigan or Manitoba, a father scrolls through rising grocery costs, wondering how to stretch this week’s paycheck.
In Israel, a Father returns to hold his Children’s arms.
In Ukraine, to watch your young Father’s face is a blessing.
In Russia, a returning soldier embraces his Father.
In every corner of the world, some version of this is playing out: a father trying to give his child something better, even when the world offers no such promises.
What They Do
They don’t ask for applause. They rarely get headlines.
They simply wake up and try again.
To teach. To lead. To sacrifice. To love without needing credit.
Because that’s what fatherhood is—being of service, quietly and endlessly.
And today, we honour them. Our friends or foes.
A Quiet Reminder
We’re living in a time when leaders shout across podiums, markets lurch unpredictably, and war drums beat in distant deserts.
But inside homes—no matter how small, loud, or broken—there is still someone reaching out, holding things together.
And that someone, often, is a father.
Happy Father’s Day. From all of us at 3 Narratives News.
