This is the best piece you’ve posted here. You write honestly but with great emotion. Like nearly everyone else who has commented, it made me think of my own dad. Fathers and sons: a topic for the ages. It helped that I was able to visit the cemetery this afternoon. Despite your obvious talents, I admire your drive to acquire more education. I wish you the best.
A really beautiful tribute. How lovely to know his spirit endures for what he passed on to you, and how you can see him in your children. Thank you for sharing.
Kathleen, I had tears in my eyes. I loved the tribute to your dad. I found it especially meaningful that when he told you to get out of your building after the towers were hit, you had faith in his judgement. The detail about leading your whole department away was also meaningful; it's telling the reader something about your character. You didn't go alone, you shepherded.
"My mom, who was 100% Italian, cussed him out when she got home from work."
A wonderful tribute of love and laughter with just the right touch of tears. Thank you for sharing this magic, Kathleen. My father passed away many years ago but he never left me. I speak to him nearly every day.
Thank you for sharing this lovely tribute. My dad died suddenly last year, and I've been thinking a lot about the times we kids spent him with him when our mom worked nights. Your memories of afternoon cartoons made me smile.
So beautiful, thanks for sharing. Dads are the best. I love personal stories and am thankful to read yours!
