My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me
When bestselling author Bruce Feiler was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his leg, he could only imagine all the walks he might not take with his daughters, the ballet recitals he would miss, the art projects left undone, and the aisles he might not walk down. Though his daughters would have plenty of resources in their lives, they wouldn’t have their Dad. He decided to write to six men who had been with him throughout his life- men who could become his voice and his daughters’ Council of Dads. READ MORE

Time Magazine — “How a Cancer-Stricken Dad Chose a Council of Successors”
A new article in Time Magazine about “The Council of Dads.”
I was amazed when I read the article in Time Magazine. Two years ago I was given a death sentence of three….perhaps, but very doubtful, six months. I’m a single parent with an autistic son. During the short-time that I thought I had, I ran many of my friends, some of my colleagues, and some people I knew just casually through a series of questions and “what if” situations to try and find someone that would be a good fit for my son. It was both eye-opening and agonizing. Initially, I never found a complete complement of those special features that I was looking for in an individual who would guide my son throughout his life. Yet, on a lighter side, there was great humor in many of the “trials”.
At first, I thought I had beat the odds, but I am still dancing with the cancer. In fact, recently I came to the realization that I have only have limited amount of time left to dance.
