Fatherhood by John Dickerson


Recommended Posts

Funny, I have spent the last two weeks writing personal letters to each of my children as well as my wife. I will quietly leave the letters for them to see when they wake Sunday.

I would not be a father without them, and they are the greatest gift I could hope to receive.

That's nice.  I never thought of doing that.

My best gift this Father's Day was that as my son and I and our respective spouses were finishing a late breakfast at a local diner, my son (Eagle Scout, age 26) announced that he, all on his own, has paid off his student loans - and then out of the blue, he picked up the check.  The "gift" was not the $40 or whatever that my wife would have paid otherwise, it was the realization that my son has grown into a pretty good adult.  I mean, I knew that already, but this was tangible proof.
