[John's never really been a fan of Father's Day. However, the very pointed recent absence of one child, and cake from a girl who isn't even his daughter has John unusually chatty and pensive about this whole thing.]

never really got the idea of father's day. what's the point of taking one day to thank your father when you should be taking every day?

then there's the assholes who don't deserve it at all.

[The problem here is he's not sure which camp he actually belongs in.]

anyway, happy father's day.

[She's baking because it's father's day and she can't go pester Bran.]

Because children aren't always grateful for what they have, no matter how much they should be.

You ain't one of them, John.

[No, she watched you claw yourself out of hell to give the boys the Colt. You went to hell to save Dean's life. You aren't a shitty father... flawed, overeager to throw yourself to demons, sure, but not a shitty father.]

Some need a day to remember the men they no longer have to thank in person. Some need a reminder. Some men no longer have living children to remember them. Some need a reminder to be a better father.

Mothers got a day first, and I guess men whined enough about not being equal.

Might not say it every day, but I'm glad you're here.

Did you get my gift?

Because fathers never think to buy their own ties and coffee mugs.

I wish everybody would just shut up about it.

It's not like everyone's even got fathers.

I hadn't heard of this 'Father's Day' before now, and frankly, I'm glad I haven't. Maker knows the last thing I needed growing up was a day to remember that bastard by.

[he'd seen John's post on the NV when he was out. Now that he's back at their apartment -]

Feeling pensive? [casually, slipping off his trenchcoat and going to put his work bag in his room.]

Americans just like to have lots of holidays.

There are more subtle ways to give thanks, or to show that you care.

It matters to celebrate fathers while they're with us.
