I always resisted turning into my Dad. Thought it was possible to chart my own path. As it’s turned out, he’s overtaken me. How did this happen? I could always outrun him. Or at least I thought so... there’s a wonderful intersection of sad, funny, and true. And you’ve found it again. Happy Father’s Day.

O my goodness. Thank you for putting me in touch with something that I only sensed before, but now I know. In a recent photo, I was surprised to realize that I Iook like my father, unlike in the mirror, where I look like myself.

This Father's Day has me in tears. The best of tears.
