It Matters to Me

Here is a humorous reflective and evocative collection of stories of fatherhood written from the perspective of a young father. These entertaining and tender tales recall a family's journey together delving into pursuits that drew them close even as the growing independence those activities fostered in the children eventually eased them apart. Both parents heeded a wise adage about raising children: hug them close then let them go. The first part was easy; the latter somewhat more difficult. The author a grandfather now recalls those bygone years with a mixture of appreciation and nostalgia---appreciation arising from the joy and love his daughters provided for their parents; and nostalgia knowing those days are gone forever living on only in shared remembrances of times past. If you have a son who is himself a father you must get him to read this book! www.jbradleyburt.webs.com
