Do we ever stop learning from our parents?
Even at 70, my friend Cass thinks about his dad, and what kinds of lessons he’s passed on. Maybe the folklore of our parents never leave us. Maybe there are ideas and value that persist and live through us the whole of our lives.
And what does that say about how we grow into our own manhood? It could be that our version can sometimes be a continuation of our father’s version. Or it could be a contrast. In any case, it’s natural for us to compare who we become as men to our fathers.
We can do this without judgement, and bring to the comparison a curiosity that helps us figure out who we want to be, and what kind of man we choose to become.
And, then we see how we are next to Pop, maybe we get a better understanding of both of us.
