"Is there [anything] you would like to tell your father?" --- M.E. of Germany

There is lots I would like to tell my father, but little I think he would understand. If there were only one thing that I could make him understand, it would be that I am his son. And, I would like him to understand what that means (i.e. that I am an extension of him that he cannot get away from).

It would also be nice if I could make him understand that I am a man, no more and no less than he is or ever was.
