“I’ll never forget the long-ago moment I saw my father’s face in the mirror while I was shaving: despite my growing admiration for him, it was the first time that I had fully accepted the likeness, and I realized that I had also accepted myself, whatever my shortcomings.” —James McConkey, “What Kind of Father Am I?” The American Scholar, Spring 2008
