Tim Russert – et all dads…
A Very Happy Father’s Day To All The Dads Out There…
*It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.
~Johann Schiller
Friday, as I watched the tributes for Tim Russert, I reflected not on his ability to know the news or his ability to interpret the news. Instead I reflected on his relationships with his father, Big Russ and his son, Luke. It is and was amazing – something to be treasured by all of us. How I wished I had that with my father but it was not to be. My father passed at an age much younger even than Tim – 42 years old.
*My father died many years ago, and yet when something special happens to me, I talk to him secretly not really knowing whether he hears, but it makes me feel better to half believe it.
~Fathers Day Quote by: Josefowitz
I was just a youngster at the time, so did not grow up really knowing him, learning from him and enjoying him. Yes, my brother and I did have good times with dad during those early years – especially around ice cream – but that is not the same as aging with him would have been. To this day it hurts to know he is gone.
*4 years: My Daddy can do anything!
7 years: My Dad knows a lot…a whole lot.
8 years: My father does not know quite everything.
12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.
14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.
21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!
25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.
35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad’s idea first.
50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?
60 years: My Dad knew literally everything!
65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.

Treasure the time you have with all your loved ones, for you never know when that call will come to take them home! And mom
*One night a father overheard his son pray:
Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.
