#firstlinefriday

Wow: we’ve been tagged, and we’re IT! We are stepping up to the #firstlinefriday challenge. Here are the rules. Friday I will:

  1. Create a post on my blog with the title #FirstLineFriday, hashtag and all.
  2. Explain the rules like I’m doing now.
  3. Post the first one or two lines of a possible story, a work-in-progress, or a completed or published work.
  4. Ask my readers for feedback, and then encourage them to try #FirstLineFriday on their own blogs (tagging is encouraged but not necessary).

So: here we go. This week our series of #sixwordstories are about Father’s Day. Enjoy. Call your Daddy.

That grin, that cigar, that father.

Sometimes we encounter  a blog so fine, so redolent of life and longing and the sweetness of being present, we must share. This time, we’re sharing a blog written by physicians, simply processing the astonishing, unknowable experiences they have as healers and humans. There is so much heart here, so much naked truth, one must wonder and be altered in the reading.
