A little late with a fathers day mention. Last week Tim Russert passed away, as well as his broadcasting and other work, he wrote a couple of books which had a positive impact on others and their relationship with their father. Here is a link to the first chapter of his book, the "Wisdom of our Fathers"
It was amazing to hear of the change in the relationship and the expressing of love with his father after his first book came out. I see examples of this every day, so keep the hope alive, everyone has the love within and can open it up to others. No force though.
