I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom. ~ Umberto Eco

Today is my dad’s birthday.

The truth of this quote resonates more and more each year.

As I copy and do things instinctively from having watched him for years.

As my kids copy and do things instinctively from having watched me for years.

It’s such a terrible and wonderful responsibility to have that kind of impact on someone.

And I’m lucky to have such a great dad who formed me with all of his little scraps of wisdom.

Make it a great day.
