The Importance of Apologies

The best fathering I've done as a dad of grown sons is my apologies. When I got straight up, apologized to them about the way I handled myself with them that didn't really honor them or position them as their own independent stud man. That went so well. It built so much credibility. Even some of them are going to apologize to me for stuff that I didn't expect them to just because I apologize. So it's ironic. But all the quote knowledge I have from all these years in, you know, fatherhood and marriage and family ministry, the best thing I've ever done is apologize for not doing it. Well, and talking to them too much.
