9.My son was studying in a high school in Colorado.He lived in the school.When we were talking on the phone he shared some wonderful news with me.He said,"You know,Dad,I am really happy with my life.I can't think of a thing that I would change,like the way that I grew up or the way that my life is now."
My daughter was living with her mother in Northern California at that time.She said almost the same thing to me just a few days later.Of course,I was glad to hear this from both of them.And I told them both how happy I was,not only that they were happy,but that they expressed it to me.
And that was the gift they were giving me--with the heart of communication.Certainly I hope for good news when I hear from them.But mostly I love that they will share their real feelings with me.Happy or sad.I love their real thoughts and feelings.
For a child,F(xiàn)ather's Day isn't really about giving Dad a gift.It is about understanding the love a father expresses when he helps put food on the table,teaches his child to ride a bike,raises his child's spirits at a football game,etc.
For a father,F(xiàn)ather's Day isn't so much about getting gifts for a job well done.Remember,the greatest gift that we give our child is the real expression of our love.It isn't enough for them to feel love inside ourselves:we need to express that love.
