W hen I was twenty-four years old, one day out of the blue my mother said to me, “You need to find your<br />
father.”<br />
“Why?” I asked. At that point I hadn’t seen him in over ten years and didn’t think I’d ever see him again.<br />
“Because he’s a piece of you,” she said, “and if you don’t find him you won’t find yourself.”<br />
“I don’t need him for that,” I said. “I know who I am.”<br />
“It’s not about knowing who you are. It’s about him knowing who you are, and you knowing who he is. Too<br />
many men grow up without their fathers, so they spend their lives with a false impression of who their father<br />
is and what a father should be. You need to find your father. You need to show him what you’ve become. You<br />
need to finish that story.”
