GETTING TO KNOW MY FATHER—BETTER

BY CARYL FARKAS

When my dad passed on, among the many condolences I received, a compassionate friend offered words of spiritual consolation that made a great difference to me.

"You're going to get to know your father better," he said. "You're going to get to know him spiritually."
