A Father's Love
Bits & Pieces, October 15, 1992, p. 13
There's a Spanish story of a father and son who had become estranged. The son ran away, and the father set off to find him. He searched for months to no avail. Finally, in a last desperate effort to find him, the father put an ad in Madrid newspaper. The ad read: "Dear Paco, meet me in front of this newspaper office at noon on Saturday. All is forgiven. I love you. Your Father."
On Saturday 800 Pacos showed up, looking for forgiveness and love from their fathers.
