What You Want to Give Them That You Didn’t Have

There's a particular difficulty in trying to give your children something you had to build for yourself. When you give something that was given to you, you have a template. When you try to give something you didn't receive, you're building the offering from the absence. And the absence is not the same as the thing.

Saying the Hard Thing to the People Who Know You Best
