The Father Spends a Lifetime Trying to Understand the Son



The father spends a lifetime trying to understand the son. The son spends a lifetime trying to understand why the father does not understand the son. He looks out the window. A small red bug walks across a leaf. The son thinks he must just say to the father - I am but the stranger version of you. The you who sat at my bedside and told me adventure stories straight from your head - Bortu the Giant Squid, Andy and the Time Machine. That’s who I am.
