All families possess shared anecdotes. These little tales are about the wonderful years of the author's role as a father. From childhood to young adult, the stories trace the growth of one man's family with occasional ruminations about the uncertainties, follies, and foibles of fatherhood. Many of the stories are funny-some are sad. They all celebrate the fact that fatherhood is a unique and wonderful experience. Dads will find in the stories a reminder to remember. And hopefully they may hear a prompting to hold their own family tales close to the heart in the telling and retelling with those who share their lives.
