Hemingway's Paco - A Father's Day story of forgiveness
Ernest Hemingway, in his short story titled "The Capital of the World," relates how a young man named Paco had been kicked out of his home for wrongdoing. Paco wandered the streets of Madrid, homeless.

In time, Paco’s father, desiring to repair the split between them, took out an ad in the local newspaper. All it said was, "Paco, meet me at the Hotel Montana at noon on Tuesday. All is forgiven!" On Tuesday, 800 young men named Paco came to the hotel, looking for forgiveness.

Happy Father's Day to everyone.
