This chapter stresses the importance of remembering the physical and emotional smallness of children, urging dads to be kinder, more patient, and appreciative of their efforts for better parenting.
“There’s a wrenching scene in the haunting novel The Sweet Hereafter (not to be read for the faint of heart). A widowed husband is folding up the clothes of his late wife. He’s struck, holding her things, just how physically small she was.”
Ryan describes why it’s the little things that you will remember after they’re gone, on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
