Wow. March 9, 2006 zuzu Go read Flea’s letter to her sons twelve years in the future. Thanks to Twisty.
Flea’s post is great. The spirit of the men she wants her sons to be reminds me of Atticus Finch: as we discussed a few weeks ago I chased To Kill A Mockingbird down and read it. Thank you for inspiring me to finally read a wonderful book. To all who stand up when it’s right, not just when it’s easy: we salute you!
Reading that post gives a human example to the idea that the strength of character that we may or may not display as adults is directly related to what we’re taught at home.
