"Stories are "love gifts."English Author
1832 - 1898
Today, in the United States, we celebrate Father's Day. What better gift to give a father than the gift of story. Story touches the heart in way that most gifts cannot. Maybe you could tell your father a funny story about something that happened to you. Or maybe you should tell a story that communicates how important your father is to you.
My father was always working to provide for his family. First, he was a farmer, raising champion hogs to sell at market. When he could no longer support his family through farming, we moved to town and he build houses for people in the community. Yet, my father would take time out of his busy schedule to attend all my basketball games from junior high through high school. Even my freshman year, he would show up to the freshmen games even when other parents and students did not attend. I will always remember him sitting in the bleachers.
When my father was in high school back in the early 1940's, he played basketball and was the captain of his team his senior year. My father passed away in July of 1990, almost 22 years ago. But his memory lives on in the stories I tell. What stories of your dad are you telling today?
And if you are a father, do what Lewis Carroll is doing in this picture. Treat yourself to a long nap.
