Hard pass. Men can talk to and play with their sons. Case closed. If you have a personal problem, solve it.

@blah_blah_blah its not a blog, its a fiction short story. the main character regrets his decisions on his deathbed, but its too late.

Play — One particular memory from my childhood has been present lately. Dad. Play with me. No. Men don’t play. Play with your mother. Why would I lower myself to the floor and pretend the figures talk, He said ridiculing me. Men don’t play. Words that resonated with me growing up. I grew up fast, therefore I stopped playing fast. I forgot how to play, and what that meant. It sounded like a foreign word to me. I never spoke the words, I want to play. Other kids would say, you wanna play? Play?...
