Fathers and daughters. It’s a tough dynamic. I don’t know anyone who’s gotten it 100 percent on either side. Ultimately, We the Daughters must accept that a father is more than the sum of his most difficult choices. I don’t doubt my dad’s love for me. I hope he knows how much I love him, how grateful I am for the advice and guidance he’s given me, and how much I respect the role he played in our family’s genetic opera.
