Father's Day

When one thinks of our parents we hope to have inherited the better attributes of them and try to recognize the faulty qualities we would rather not have been given. Depending on the intimacy your relationship with family, the more all of us have grown into adulthood we see a multi layered vision of our parents. Through the tumultuous and sublime I never stopped having a deep admiration for my father.  He dreams like a poet, thinks as a savvy entrepreneur and is never shy in sharing his love for you. He fathers to more than his own children and will say things like, "you are my best fathers day gift."

Our relationship is mutually tended to and grows. A simple phone call message to say I love you, share a like minded fact or a recently read book. We continue to believe in what each of us are creating. I wrote an essay in which I was asked to whom is your greatest inspiration in your artistic pursuits? Understandably that would be my father.
