A Father and Son's Journey to Reconciliation
Larry Elder
Categories:
Memoir, Raising a Son
After ten years of not speaking to his father, Larry Elder recounts the day he walked through the doors of his father's diner to tell him off for good. What started as 'I'm going to give him a piece of my mind', morphed into honest discussion, understanding, and even laughter, ending eight hours later. His father didn't know the depth of destruction his words and actions had caused, but Larry didn't truly know the life and genuine nature of his father. From that day on, Larry felt true love for his father and would even tell him so every time they spoke. It's a story of forgiveness that has since inspired many others to initiate the same difficult conversation with their fathers. It's entertaining, inspiring, and a good read.
