314: For Father's Day—Maybe the Best Gift Ever
Manage episode 422971235 series 2455407
My dad was a complex man—perhaps all fathers are—because he was a product of a generation he understood and one that he didn’t always.
Over the years, I celebrated Father’s Day by giving my dad traditional gifts, such as a circular saw, barbecue equipment, or a history book. He always appreciated the gifts, but I wonder if he might have appreciated a conversation more, the result of me asking him questions in an attempt to understand him better.
I’d like to think that he would hear my questions as caring on my part. His responses, in turn, would be a gift to me.
