5 out of 5 stars A Legacy from Tim Russert   July 17, 2008
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.


5 out of 5 stars Great Read   July 17, 2008
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.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent look at the roles of fathers in our lives   July 17, 2008
I wish my father were still alive so that he could read this tribute to fathers. Tim Russert covered well the attributes that we all love and admire in these men. I'm giving this one to my son, who also exemplifies what a good parent should be.


5 out of 5 stars Tim Russert's follow up to Big Russ and Me   July 17, 2008
Great stories from so many grateful children. You can fly through this book in just a few hours.


4 out of 5 stars Wisdom of Our Fathers   July 16, 2008
Nice short recalls from different people about events or defining moments in their lives due to something a parent said or did to affect their lives.
