Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons

I lost my father two years ago. When I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down. It is very moving and very healing. You laugh, you cry, you relate it to yourself. There is one piece where a girl found a note from her father (after he had passed) in the garage that reminds her to wear saftey glasses when she does things around the house. I almost can hear my dad saying that to me and I remember it now, every time I go into the garage. I gave this to my cousin as a gift when he had his first born and to several friends as gifts. Tim Russert's son Luke and his father, Big Russ, are very fortunate to have such heartfelt book left in their honor to pay tribute to thier relationships. To me, this is book, in a very special way, is more meaningful than Mr. Russert's unprecedented media legacy in the newsroom...it is that special.

I wish my father were still alive so that he could read this tribute to fathers. Tim Russert covered well the attributes that we all love and admire in these men. I'm giving this one to my son, who also exemplifies what a good parent should be.

Great stories from so many grateful children. You can fly through this book in just a few hours.

Nice short recalls from different people about events or defining moments in their lives due to something a parent said or did to affect their lives.

this is a great book. the memoirs are something worth share and a great read every page.
