The Sunday Morning Muse, June 19, 2011

Father's Day. No doubt people are out there picnicking and golfing and buying ties and spending time with dad. In the midst of the celebrating and eating and giving of gifts and stuff, be sure to take time to do just one thing.
Talk with your dad. Have a conversation. Ask him questions, listen to the answers.

You don't have to agree with him. Just listen.

My generation is losing fathers very quickly. The World War II vets are disappearing along with their stories. I regret I didn't talk to him more about that time in his life. Maybe because he didn't volunteer the information, and never dwelled in the past much. I should have asked anyway.
