Thank you so much for the Father’s Day message. My dad is the one you described as the non-affectionate type, never says I love you and keeps his distance from any deep conversation. We’ve always had an awkward relationship, never quite comfortable with each other. So I decided to steal your idea about interviewing your dad and trying to understand him better. My husband and I and our two sons took both our dads out to lunch right after service. At lunch I began the interview and let me tell you, we had so much fun. I asked questions like what was your first car, what was your first job, and as a child what did you want to grow up to be. I learned so much more about both my dad and my father-in-law and they were so willing to answer all the questions. As a matter of fact, I saw my father-in-law yesterday and he said he didn’t want the interview to end.
Thank you for giving me a tool to break the ice and become closer to my dad.

Way to go Amy! Way to be a doer of God’s word. Glad to hear you efforts paid off. Maybe you should schedule “Interview Part II”.
