i Dad to have his day Sunday
This Sunday is the day that
Dad is king in his home The
day that he gets his way and
does whatever he wants.
It also is a day when mem­
bers of the family reflect on
their relationship with “good
old dad.”
The following is a letter
which was written to one dad in
the Sandy area recently by his
son The son now is a grown
man himself, but he remem­
bers the importance which his
dad had in his growing up
years.
Dear Dad;
What with F a th e r ’s Day
coming up, I got to thinking
about Dads and kids and all the
fuss that's going on about the
generation gap, and about you
and me and our own private
generation gap.
I first noticed it when I was
five, and didn't want to go to
bed. You insisted, and right
there I knew there was some
kind of a gap between us.
The next time I noticed it was
when I reach ed over and
snagged the biggest chunk of
cake. There was company with
us and you spoke right up there
in front of all those people and
said it wasn’t very nice to grab
the biggest piece for myself.
That was embarrassing, you
know.
Then when I was twelve and
knew I could run the car
without waiting until I was 17,
you let the gap show again The
driver’s seat was declared off
limits for me. You said you
thought it would be better if I
waited until I had taken drivers
training in school.
At fourteen I still had to be in
the house by ten, and earlier on
school nights. Was that ever
embarrassing with the gang!
And besides you insisted on

knowing where I was going.
What a gas! And there were
chores I had to do, when the
other guys were out playing
ball, and church to attend when
the boys were going fishing.
But, you know what? The
other night we guys were
talking things over. They were
sort of sounding off on all the
things they’d done, and all of a
sudden I felt like there was
something wrong. They didn’t
sound really happy and it was
just bragging. One guy looked
at me when he remarked that
his parents wouldn't care if he
“never" showed up at home.
Suddenly Dad, I knew where
the generation gap was. It
wasn’t between you and me. I
knew th at you c a re d —th at
you’d care a lot if I never
showed up at home I felt real
good inside, a solid, com­
fortable feeling. I guess that’s
what Dads are for, to give a kid
something solid that he can
depend on when everything all
around him is shifting gears so
fast and you can’t always tell
who your best friend is.
Anyway, I wanted you to
know about the cake, the car,
and the dozens of other No’s
you’ve passed out to me. It’s
O K. Dad. You’re the best Dad
a kid ever had.
Proudly, with love,
Your Son
