Council of Dads

February 14, 2011 by City Dads Group

“Diagnosed with cancer, Bruce Feiler worried first about his young family. So…as he shares in this funny, rambling and ultimately thoughtful talk — he asked his closest friends to become a “council of dads,” bringing their own lifetimes of wisdom to advise his twin daughters as they grow.”
 This heartwarming story is special and I thought it is inspirational enough to share with other fathers and parents.  When asked about how & why he designed the council of dads,Feiler stated, “I believe my daughters will have plenty of opportunities in their lives,” he wrote these men. “They’ll have loving families. They’ll have each other. But they may not have me. They may not have their dad. Will you help be their dad?”

Feiler, a father living in New York City, has been featured in several media outlets, inclduing this Ted Partner Series Talks, sharing his touching story about the “council of dads.”
