Sam Acho shares something he learned about fatherhood that made him stop and think about his own dad.

He had been in a meeting where they were talking about the number of children growing up without their fathers being present. The statistics were heavy. But what stayed with Sam was how different his own experience had been.

His dad worked hard. He provided for the family. But more than anything, he was there. He stayed faithful to his wife for 44 years and showed up for his four children.

Sam talks about how much that example shaped him, and shares a moment involving his brother that really brought it home. His brother isn’t someone who usually talks about his feelings, but when he started talking about their dad, it was clear just how much his father’s presence had meant to him.

This isn’t a conversation about being a perfect father.

It’s about showing up.

It’s about what your children see when they watch your life.

And eventually, it’s about what they will say about you when you’re no longer in the room.

If you’re a father, thinking about becoming one, or simply wondering what kind of impact you’re having on the people around you, take a few minutes to listen.

What will the people closest to you remember about you?
