Some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs cut their business teeth on the playground.
Like most parents, Dad has always tried to protect his children. As a doctor, too, he is especially conscious of the many dangers surrounding us.
I remember having dinner at a friend’s house once, and being surprised that nobody said a word about food poisoning. At home, “Did you wash your hands?” was spoken at every single meal.
Fashion, too, could be dangerous, according to my father. A few years ago, he took away my coat because he said I hadn’t had it made right. When I asked him about it, Dad put the coat on to show me how serious the problem was. “Look—it’s too long, even on me. And this material is so heavy that it would pull you down.”
When my brothers and sisters and I talk about the old days, we recall Dad’s telling us not to jump too hard and high while playing sports because of the possibility of backbone injury, and the driving directions he gave us with as few left turns as possible.
After each weekend visit at my parents’ home, I have my father dropped me off at the quiet train station for my trip back to Manhattan. As I wait, I can see his car in the parking lot; I know that he is watching to see that I board safely.
When I am seated, I watch him drive off, wanting, as I do more and more often now, to protect him from the world’s sharpest edges, the way he always tried to protect us. I wish I could give him the reassurance his worrying and caring have given me.
