It served to remind me to be grateful my dad is still alive and to engage in a similar reflection.

I’ve heard people say that while you have the chance, you should sit down and interview your father. The other day I happened to stumble on a list of questions one might ask:

1. What is your best memory of your own father?

2. What did you have as a child that kids today are missing?

3. What has life taught you about love?

4. What are the three most important values in life?

5. What was the moment you were most proud of me?

6. What do you wish most for your children?

7. What is the most importantly family tradition you’d like us to keep?
