The father who would taste the essence of his fatherhood must turn back from the plane of his experience, take with him the fruits of his journey and begin again beside his child, marching step by step over the same old road.  ~Angelo Patri

Mother’ bundle, suckle,  dominate and peck us toward adulthood. Fathers bully, bluster and tease us. But, also by example, dads provide us a template, especially young men, of how to step into manhood. And, once there, endure the tedium, load and strains. For that frequently unspoken element in the equation…..somehow let your father know you love him. I love you dad. Easier now…mine has passed. If you are a dad….make it easy for them to show you how much they do indeed love you.
