 2008-08-25 - Ode to fathers, and Tim
This was another wonderful, tearful book from Tim Russert. How much we will miss him... I just wish he had written a book about his mother.
2008-08-10 - Tim Russert was a very special man.
Tim Russert was a very humble, everyday man who serves as a role model for young men in his professional and personal life. Great book.

 2008-07-29 - INTIMACY, COMFORT, TRAUMA, & LIFE LESSONS.
The book is 297 pages & is divided into 21 chapters. The most crucial ones for me were "Honor, Being There, Forgiveness, Missing Dads, The Protector, Discipline, & 75 Reasons."
What was so refreshing about this book was the theme of basic normalcy & decency that most people seem to have. This book should appeal to most people, but it is not only or truly a book about a "father-son relationship." It came across more as a memoir of intimate vignettes, some of which are negative. One of a son whose father missed out being a a dad because of his drug addiction which eventually killed him.
Two of the more positive stories were when a father comforted his son after he told his dad that he was gay, & Kerry a girl who grew up with a stutter, whose dad held her hand & told her "it's ok". There are many life lessons in these stories that are very applicable to people regardless of their own individual backgrounds, beliefs, & experiences. All in all a very inspirational & intimate read.
