Loud and clear

As a dad I think of writing as leaving a legacy for my two sons.

One day I’ll be gone and the sound of my voice will echo for some time in their hearts and in their memories.

But as all echos fade, so, too, will my voice .

I write because in the distant future when my kids are grown men and the sound of my voice no longer rings clear inside them, they’ll be able to pick up one of my books and I’ll be there.

Loud and clear.
