ON STAGE –

WITHOUT KNOWING IT

  

Dads do dozens of rarely noticed
automatic acts of kindness –
that kids won’t see till his funeral
or  his 75th birthday – and actually
he probably will have forgotten.

Kids repeat – without even noticing –
what they learned from their dads.
These are the behind the scene stories –
sacraments, liturgy, repeated culture.
Watch your dad; watch history.
