This past Saturday, Dr. Charles Dorsey, met with the men to talk about his passion regarding Fathers and Sons.
He showed us the logo (see above) that was designed to convey his passion.
It is a picture of a father and his son facing each other. Two men connecting, or reconnecting with each other.
Behind the image, Dr Dorsey explains a few results of connecting with your father:
- It can be uncomfortable, even painful,
- It can also reveal the source of your disconnectedness with your father, and his pain when he was growing up.
- But it can also help you understand your father, and who he is, and in turn, who you are.
Sharing stories, histories of each other
Pain- Sharing experiences of deep pain
Exploration- Digging deeper to understand the questions “who am i?” and “Where do I come from?”
Affirmation- Recognizing the value of each one’s life story
Kinship- Acknowledging that we are connected to something. Who is our family? Who is our father?
Dr. Dorsey also invited us to share our story on his website “FathersandSonsSpeak“. His goal is to collect 100,000 stories about the joys and sorrows told through a Father’s or Son’s story.
