A couple of years ago, I attended a publishing conference in California.  One of the highlights was meeting a wonderful daughter-father writing team  — Anne Marie and Al Parisi.

 

After cancer treatment left Al disabled, the stay-at-home dad and former executive decided that, his outlook needed adjusting.  Rather than focusing on the things he could no longer do, Al gave himself a promotion and a new title.

 

As CEO of Parisi Enterprises, Al found renewed joy in his family.  He and his colleague/daughter Ann Marie later penned “Lunch Bag Notes” – documenting some of the loving communication and guidance he provided during her teen years.

 

That was followed by “More Lunch Bag Notes – Everyday Advice from a Dad to His Son,” a book co-authored by son Anthony.

 

Both are stories of healing, family and faith.  Who knows, maybe you will decide to write a few lunch bag love notes of your own!
