    Muriel Bedford: It isn’t every day that your only son gets married.
    Judge Bedford: He’s your son, too, Muriel. I mean it’s about time you started taking half the blame.

    My son and daughter tell me where they are in very different ways. I know where my son is because I hear him. I know where my daughter is because she tells me.
    —Anonymous Father. Raising a Daughter by Jeanne Elium and Don Elium, ch. 1 (1994)

    Until you have a son of your own . . . you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. And you will never know the heartbreak of the fathers who are haunted by the personal demons that keep them from being the men they want their sons to be.
    Kent Nerburn (20th century)
