Excuse me while I grab a tissue here. This one got me good. My dad's gone, so it doesn't take much, but my guess is such a tender tribute would have choked me up no matter what. We get a strong feel for the kindness of the father through the description of his loyalty to broken things, and through the writer's sincere appreciation for his father's loving ways. Though the writer never alludes to the difficult news he had to share with his fundamentalist parents, we can guess. Play this for father's day. Play it any time to remind us all to be big of heart and gentle with each other.
