This is a good father's message to his young children (and all of us).
One need not be blessed with parents like his. One can indeed grow up with a mother who tries from time to time to dispatch you and a father who fails to defend you, yet still embrance a similar attitude toward every step, every breath.
As my Grandfather George Frink said to me so often and in so many different ways when I yearned to pursue some challenge someone else had tried to persuade me was impossible for a crew-cut farmboy:
"You are alive yet Son, and you can."
