Daedalus and Icarus.

When I read this story, it really made me think about my dad and what all dads have to go through. One day you are just going to have to let your son go and hope he can fly. "The old man worked and warned; his cheeks grew damp with tears; and with a father's fears, his hands began to tremble. Then he kissed his son, and poised upon his wings, he flew ahead.." Ever father is going to go through this, whether its your sons first sports game, their first day at school, or their first date. I feel dads will go through this pain many times throughout their lives and their child lives. In this story, unfortunately Icarus dies and Daedalus has to feel an incredible pain. But in most fathers lives when they take this leap, they usually see there son's succeed. There must be a great euphoria when they see their sons succeed. You know that you have been a great dad when you see your own son living a real life. Its to bad that Daedalus did not get to see his son grow up. This must be the best part of being a dad I think, is seeing your son succeed. You know that you have lived well enough to pass that on to another human and having them succeed.
