This year for Father’s Day we reached out to some of our Canadian authors to share a special fatherly memory.
"Long after my father passed away I heard a story from a friend of his, that when I was young (16) and restless, and had left home for a second time, to be missing from my family for five months before they cleverly located me, my dad left his office every afternoon on a working day and walked to his friend’s office ten minutes away, and there he wept. Every day. For five months. And yet, I can add when he did find me, and knocked on my door in a distant city, he gave me his blessing to keep travelling, to live my life as I wished, asking only that I stay in touch. That must have been exceptionally difficult for him. That’s wisdom. That’s love."
