Grapevine #14
September, 2008
We continue our celebration of the bountiful expressions of fatherhood by sharing our fathers' wisdom.
For the rest of this month, connect with fathers in your life - wherever they are - and share your gratitude and respect for their talents, contribution, love and inspiration.
Invite all the fathers and grandfathers you know to visit our website and share their experience by responding to our online questions.
Meanwhile, enjoy the gifts and blessings flowing from our fathers.
"It is absolutely essential that you honour and respect the gift that is given to you - that gift of life that is your child.
That you respect what you have been entrusted with.
That is the highest duty that any male can fulfil - to be a good role model and a sensitive and loving father. There is no duty, there is no responsibility, there is no joy that is greater than that."
Wolfgang
"As a father, my desire was to ensure I responded to the love my children (grandchildren) unconditionally offered to me.
From the early age with each child I determined I would endeavour to be their friend when they reached adulthood.
My hopes have been realised after some unanticipated bumps along the way."
Russell
"As a father I watched my children grow and develop and make their way in the world. I was there when they fell down, always offering a loving hand to help them to their feet again."
