Dad's Kiss
The
Board
Meeting
had
come to
an
end.
Bob
started to
stand
up
and
jostled
the
table,
spilling
his
coffee
over
his
notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my
old age."
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling
stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to
Frank
who
sat quietly
listening to
the
others.
Someone
said,
"Come
on,
Frank.
Tell
us
your
most
embarrassing
moment."
Frank
laughed
and
began
to
tell
us
of
his
childhood.
"I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and
he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making
a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until
he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our
family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that
were still at home."

He
looked
at
us
and
said,
"I
wish
you
could
have
met
my
Dad.
He
was
a
big
man,
and
he
was
strong
from
pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you
got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his
old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain
hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much
my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and
of fish."
Frank's
voice
dropped
a
bit.
"When
the
weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old
truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older
than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You
could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the
school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear.
Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would
belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it
seemed
like
everybody
would
be
standing
around
and
watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on
the
cheek
and
tell
me
to
be
a
good
boy.
It
was
so
embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad
would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"
He paused and then went on, "I remember the day I

decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the
school
and
came
to
a
stop,
he
had
his
usual
big
smile.
He
started
to
lean
toward
me,
but
I
put
my
hand
up
and
said,
'No, Dad.'
It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and
he had this surprised look on his face.
I
said,
'Dad,
I'm
too
old
for
a
goodbye
kiss.
I'm too old for any kind of kiss.'
My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes
started
to
tear
up.
I
had
never
seen
him
cry.
He
turned
and
looked
out
the
windshield.
'You're
right,'
he
said.
'You
are
a
big
boy....a
man.
I
won't
kiss
you
anymore.'"
Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to
well
up
in
his
eyes,
as
he
spoke.
"It
wasn't
long
after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It
was a day when most of the fleet stayed in, but not Dad. He
had
a
big
family
to
feed.
They
found
his
boat
adrift
with
its
nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a gale and
was trying to save the nets and the floats."
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down
his
cheeks.
Frank
spoke
again.
"Guys,
you
don't
