The Impact of Your Father's Voice

From a young age, we hear our father's voice as he imparts wisdom upon us. It is in these moments we learn the importance of hard work, perseverance, and integrity.

The Echo of Fatherly Advice

As we grow older, the voice of our father continues to resonate within us. We have internalized his teachings, and they serve as a moral compass when faced with difficult decisions. These lessons may be simple but carry profound significance.

One of the most valuable lessons a father imparts is the power of self-belief. He instills in us the notion that we can achieve anything we set our minds to. His voice encourages us to push beyond our limitations and strive for greatness. It is a voice that never wavers, reminding us of our potential even when we doubt ourselves.

Another crucial aspect of a father's voice is the lessons learned from his mistakes. He opens up about his past failures, offering valuable insight on how to avoid making the same errors. His vulnerabilities create a space for us to learn from his experiences and navigate life more wisely.

Carrying the Torch of Fatherly Wisdom

As we take on the journey of life, the teachings and voice of our father become a touchstone. We find ourselves in challenging situations, reminiscing his voice and drawing strength from the lessons he ingrained in us.

Our father's voice carries forward in the decisions we make, the values we uphold, and the way we treat others. It becomes a part of our identity, passed down from generation to generation.

The Legacy of Your Father's Voice

Over time, our fathers may physically depart, leaving behind a void that can never be filled. However, the imprints of their voice remain etched in our souls. Their voice continues to guide us, inspire us, and provide solace when we find ourselves at crossroads.

In a world where noise and distractions abound, the voice of our father acts as an anchor, grounding us in our values and purpose. It serves as a gentle reminder of who we are, where we come from, and the impact we can make.

The voice of our father is not merely sound waves carried through the air. It is a profound connection that shapes our character, molds our choices, and defines our place in the world. It is a testament to the enduring power of a father's love.

So take a moment to reflect upon the voice of your father. Treasure the memories, lessons, and wisdom he shared with you. Let his voice guide you on your journey, and in turn, pass down his legacy to future generations.

It seemed like just plain bad luck. On September 11, 2001, Jeremy Glick boarded United Flight 93 only because a fire at Newark Airport had prevented him from flying out the day before. That morning, he called his wife, Lyz, to tell her the plane had been hijacked and that he and a group of others were going to storm the cockpit, an effort that doomed Glick and his fellow passengers yet doubtless saved lives on the ground and instantly became known worldwide as a heroic moment of resistance. But Lyz wanted the couple's daughter, Emmy, only three months old when the plane crashed, to learn much more of her father's story than just the ending. Your Father's Voice narrates Lyz's struggle to come to grips with her husband's death in a series of letters from Lyz to Emmy that give a wrenching but clear-eyed account of Lyz's first years without Jeremy. The letters also portray the rebellious but charismatic star athlete who became Lyz's high school sweetheart, a national collegiate judo champion, and finally her husband. We see Lyz's medical ordeal as she tries to bring Emmy into the world, Jeremy's tender nurturing of the premature baby, and the agony of his final telephone call from the ill-fated plane.

But it is during the first frantic months after the terrorist attack---as she fends off the media and fights to get the truth about what happened on Flight 93---that Lyz realizes that she and Jeremy are still deeply connected, that his love for her and Emmy endures and teaches. Soon Lyz can write to Emmy that she believes it was destiny, not luck, that put a world-class martial artist like Jeremy on an airplane with other men and women who were also determined to fight back.

Through it all, Lyz pragmatically details the challenges of a single parent raising a daughter in the aftermath of horrific tragedy, and urges Emmy to listen for what Lyz can still hear when the wind is right: her father's voice.
