Remember

Memory can a large part of love. Today's objet d'eBay, commemorating one-time Armistice — now Veterans — Day, is the hat of a Michigan man who celebrated the memory of a child's World War I service.

What is often forgotten by the father who celebrates his child, is how the child will celebrate him after he is gone. For that, life's stories have to be shared. And an effort has to be made to be humble but open when asked questions like, "Which war did you fight in, Dad, the Civil War?" are asked by an 8-year-old (or any child) of her father who previously said little of his service in Vietnam.

** Every father's day is a battle, but not every battle should be treated like just another day at the office. **
