Father’s Day

It is Father’s Day Sunday in the United States. I am home to celebrate with my four children and 10 grandchildren.

In the past four months, three of the designers I work with have become dads. In each case, I told the new dad that the child born to him would be his best project ever, and, of course, one that does not disappear into oblivion.

I have four such wonderful projects myself, and I am proud of each of them: Mario, Brian, Ana and Elena. In turn, they have given me 10 grandchildren ranging in ages from 10 years to six months, each special in his/her own way—three girls, seven boys.

The great Mahatma Gandhi said that “grandchildren are God’s dessert to men”.

Wishing all the dads (and grandpas) out there a very special day.

I know mine will be sweet times 10.
