THE HIGHEST MEDAL A MAN OR WOMAN CAN EARN

Medal


By Harvey Tobkes


No! Not the Congressional Medal of Honor or the Victoria Cross. So what award do all men and women honor and cherish above all others?

I will tell you. A father who says to his adult offspring, “By your achievements in life, you have made me very proud.”

It’s a short sentence and not eloquent but charged with what we all crave… Recognition.

Sadly, my own father died at a young age, but I still talk to his spirit now and then. Someday, when I join his world, I hope he will say the words that will bring me the medal I so longed for. But I will not leave this earth without proudly telling my 3 adult children…you are all of sterling character and as your dad I am so very proud. I love you guys!
