….and so that’s the news that caught my eye yesterday. A story of a Father teaching his sons what’s right though it could cost $50,000 . I think most would balk at trading 50 large in for a feel good moment, I‘m sure I would need a second thought.
But Pat Smith did and I think that makes him worthy of a tip of the hat from us all. I can only imagine how many people will raise an eyebrow to Pat, or how many school mates of Nick and Nate will point out with disdain, their foolishness.
Somehow in my odd sense of sensibilities I hope this is so….for it will only enlarge the learning that a real father hopes to impart. It will offer those two young men the opportunity to glare back into the eyes of criticism with the audacity owned only by those truly proud of doing right.
Well done Pat Smith and Sons….
Pat I see you as a real Father of real men. And I wish you were a politician as my country could use more of the likes of you.
