See How Bachelor Nation Celebrated Father's Day 2020
With gatherings big and small, near and far, Bachelor Nation showered husbands, dads, and fathers-to-be in their lives with affection on Father's Day. No global pandemic could stop the love felt on this day!
Many former Bachelors and Bachelorettes posted tributes to their fathers or father figures, some of whom are still alive and others of whom are not. In many of these posts, people thanked their patriarchs for teaching them important and valuable life lessons. Bryan Abasolo, for instance, called his father his "hero and role model." Nick Viall wrote, "Someday I hope to be a father like you dad, and look just as handsome doing it."
Becca Kufrin, whose father passed away 10 years ago, penned an elegiac post reminiscing on some of her favorite memories with him.
She wrote towards the end of her post, "I miss the fact that so many stories were taken from us. I miss so many things that return to me in the most unexpected moments. But as much as I miss you, you gave me the greatest gift of all, which was showing me how to live through love, patience, grace and strength (as I’m sure you’ve witness from above, it’s been a reeeaaallll work in progress for me.) But no matter all my missings, my life is so richly blessed because I had you in it."
