I’ve been a
f a t h e r
for some thirty-seven years
a n d
my kids have made me a lot of things
over those years
but aside from making me their
d a d
they really made me a great
s t o r y – t e l l e r
They would be
stories of encouragement
stories of hope
stories of motivation
stories of life
stories of living
but most of all
stories of the
u n c o n d i t i o n a l l o v e
I’ve always had for them
and hopefully never made them
d o u b t
THIS IS US
is a new NBC tv Series
that began this year
and it not only talks about
conventional life
but conventional
family life. . .
I hate
to this day
when any of my kids
or grandchildren
h u r t
and would do anything
to make it evaporate
or
TELL IT AWAY
Like this scene
or more
just by
s h o w i n g u p. . .
s h a r i n g
t h e h u r t. . .
until the tears dried
or were replaced by even a
h a l f – s m i l e. . .
I could do that
with trips to the Mall
A movie with
the extra-big bucket of buttered popcorn
and their own Big Pop
A bag full of penny-candy
A play-ground run
A day at an amusement park
one-on-one dates to Bob Evans
or Caribou Coffee
or a well-timed s t o r y:
M A G I C A L
So
what’s
your
go to
s t o r y ?
