I spent a lot of this weekend watching parts of what must be at least 48 hours of non-stop coverage and reflections on Tim Russert's death. A large portion of the discussion has been about his relationship with his dad "Big Russ" and his two books about fatherhood. Tim was a good man, a good journalist and it seems tons of people loved him. When I watched a replay of an interview Tom Brokaw did with Tim on his own show when the tables were turned and he was interviewed about his book "Wisdom Of Our Fathers", the follow up to "Big Russ and Me", I realized the man was everything everyone said he was.
Tim Russert got me thinking more about my own dad this Father's Day weekend...my dad passed a little over three years ago. You can read about him here. We'll call him "Big Tom".
Go rest high, Tim.
