My father passed away at a fairly young age, without ever wandering very far from where he was born and raised. He always wanted more for me, as I think most parents do for their children. Maybe that’s why I enjoy traveling so much. When I have new experiences, or see new places, I see them through a lens of wide-eyed curiosity. A sense of how big and spectacular the world is, and how very small and insignificant I am. And that’s a pretty good lesson to pass on to your child.
Happy Father’s Day!
