Photo Friday : Father Photo Friday : Father Grandfather and Jake Holding Hands One of the fondest memories of my own father was a father-and-son camp in 1978. He didn't promise coming, which was ok since the last time he did come I lost a spelling quiz bee when I froze upon seeing his face among the crowd. So that afternoon, there were no heightened expectations. If he didn't come then I can still back off from the backyard schoolgrounds camp. Up until sunset while all the rest of my friends and their friends' dads started coming one by one, I told myself, "he may have been busy at work and might not come...". As soon as I almost gave up, then came a familiar voice, with a baseball cap worn the other way. My father, who was coaxing me to move from where I stood and to start pitching our tent. During campfire, he did his usual magic tricks and won us, best presentation. That weekend, he won my faith and trust. |
