Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't read this book until after the death of Tim Russert. Like the one about his father, this book is just brilliant. It is so honestly portrayed by those who wrote about their fathers. I was very moved and will read the entire book again and again through the years.Book Review: Tim Russert. Wisdom of our fathers

Summary: 5 Stars
As a father of 4 and grandfather of 10, I had to pause more times than I can count while reading Tim's wonderful book. Like other sentimental Irishmen, I had to take to reading those heartwarming letters from sons and daughters in solitude. It was my way of truly appreciating each of them. Tim's recurring theme song about a father's most precious gift to his child, "Time! Time! Time!", leads me to believe that my wife and I got at least one parenting thing "right." We cannot recall ever having missed a single event/activity/game in the lives of our 4 terrific kids. It was of primary importance to the whole family. Our 3 daughters and son are now reading Tim's book. We hope they agree. . . . and will do the same for their children. It's all that really matters. Thanks, Tim, for leaving us with this special reminder. God bless.Book Review: Great Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I lost my father two years ago. When I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down. It is very moving and very healing. You laugh, you cry, you relate it to yourself. There is one piece where a girl found a note from her father (after he had passed) in the garage that reminds her to wear saftey glasses when she does things around the house. I almost can hear my dad saying that to me and I remember it now, every time I go into the garage. I gave this to my cousin as a gift when he had his first born and to several friends as gifts. Tim Russert's son Luke and his father, Big Russ, are very fortunate to have such heartfelt book left in their honor to pay tribute to thier relationships. To me, this is book, in a very special way, is more meaningful than Mr. Russert's unprecedented media legacy in the newsroom...it is that special.
