Our fathers
give us many gifts and extend to us many kindnesses. Certainly, believing is us is a powerful
legacy to leave us. On
Fathers' Day, I remember with great love the special men in my life who served
as fathers and who believed in me -- my father, my grandfather and my
stepfather. Though they are no longer
here, their kindnesses toward me live forever in my heart.
Yesterday, I
received a photo from a friend -- it was of him and his teenage daughter
visiting some of our old college haunts.
He was spending the weekend with her while she worked for the summer in the
city where we studied. This friend of
mine is an amazing dad -- and an incredible friend. He is the kind of friend who believes in you
-- the kind who gives you strength, who sends you notes telling you that you
are fabulous when you are not especially convinced... So, on Fathers' Day, I am also grateful for the
terrific fathers who share their kindness not only with their children, but also
with their friends.
