Frank began to tell us of his childhood.“My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. It was hard making a living on the sea. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean.”

Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. When his noisy old truck reached my school, it seemed that everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”

　 He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean towards me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad. I’m too old for a goodbye kiss’. My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to have tears up. I had never seen him cry. ‘You are right’, he said, ‘You are a big boy...a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.’”

The tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke.“ It wasn’t long before my Dad went to sea and never came back. Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek...I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good bye kiss.”
