Fatherhood as Misunderstood, Mystifying, Miraculous Masculinity

"My father used to play with my brothers and me in the yard.  Mother would come out and say: You’re tearing up the grass!" "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply, "We're raising boys."~Harmon Killebrew

“It's a wonderful feeling when your father becomes not a god but a man to you—when he comes down from the mountain and you see he’s this man with weaknesses.  And you love him as this whole being, not a figurehead.” ~Robin Williams
