Dear Friends
In
more than 70 countries, today is Father's Day.
Happy Father's Day!
In
Hong Kong as elsewhere, Mother's Day is really important.
But Father's Day?????!
Must
say I never really appreciated my father's goodness and greatness
until I left home at the age of 18 to go to the seminary
Then
as I began to reflect on his life, I felt ashamed I had not appreciated him
better in the past
(c.f. common theme in many movies of 50s, 60s...the father an object of
ridicule)
As
the years went on, I was able to obtain Dad's letters and poems.
Also a recording of him reciting some poetry (from memory)...made by priests at
Iona College in Brisbane...
something I never thought of doing...something for which I'll always be grateful
to Frs P. O'D and M. McM!
Letters, poems and some photos are here Recording of "A Bush Christening"
God bless all fathers!
