My dad died when I was 7. It has shaped how I parent my own kids.

• Being the youngest of six children, I had only a short time with my dad, who died when I was 7.
• I learned about him through the stories my siblings, relatives, and my mother shared after he died.
• Growing up without him, I know how important it is for my husband to have a deep bond with our kids.
