To My Dad

I hope you will take a look at a very personal essay I wrote for the New York Times last week about my dad and my medical school graduation 34 years ago.  In addition to the post itself, please take a few minutes to read through the scores of extraordinary comments from readers. The human spirit is alive and well, and that should be an inspiration to all of us this Memorial Day and on Father’s Day in a couple weeks. Here’s the link to the NYT piece:
