lyrics

"There must always be a struggle between a father and son, while one aims at power and the other at independence."
- Samuel Johnson -1799

Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person. My acceptance of my son as a man seems to be as difficult as my son’s acceptance that I am just a man. I need to be a mentor and my son needs to be thought of as an equal. All these things make it difficult for fathers and sons to really get past their role expectations and really get to know each other and accept each other as they really are.

Joe, it was wonderful to just be with you these past few days. I believe in you.
