Father’s Day 2017

Father’s Day is special to me for a couple of reasons.

My own dad is gone, but of course I’m a father myself so it seems like the idea’s certainly living on in our family.

I did and realized it’s absolutely worth sharing with other folks whose own pops, dads, or fathers have passed on, because Micah’s sense of story telling is worth spending a few minutes of your Father’s Day on.

Here’s Micah’s piece called My Six-Foot Father.

Happy Fathers Day everyone.
