Wow this is a powerful moment: “It wasn’t until the writing of this post that my father reflected on how much the world has changed over the decades that he was able to speak about his past with more openness.”

Adrian, I’m impressed with how you have enabled a small but powerful shift in your father’s life. I hope he continues to share these precious memories that foster understanding and strengthen relationships.

I was also touched that you think of your grandfather whenever you swim. Please share more stories about him too!
