Weekend Kindness
Reaching Others Through Kindness

Hopefully it wasn?t last father?s day.  And yet telling your dad that you love him, for a son, is one of the most awkward things you can do if the father didn?t set out building that degree of transparency all the way up.

I can?t remember the first time I ever told my grandfather I loved him?but it was later on in life.  As his life started nearing its end, I made sure that a conversation did not go by where I let him know that I loved him.

But why does it have to be like that?  Part of it?s culture?people of that generation didn?t express emotion like that.  But that is only an excuse.

So, this father?s day, don?t just give him a card or make sure he knows today?make sure that you begin to make it a habit to tell him how you feel.  It may be a little awkward at first, but it will be more precious than any tie or other thing that money could buy.
