Parenting: Fatherhood

"It is said to begin with the Father"
-Maxine Kumin (Father)

I once watched a show on the Human Body - but can't remember which one it was. It stated that one half of the gene is always passed from Father to the Son, in the same manner that we pass surnames down from generation to generation in our culture.

This apparently does not happen when men father daughters - who will get a completely random mix of the genes of both parents.

Its a great thought, in some ways. If this is true than I am at least one half my Father in many respects.

Maybe this is also symbolic of how Christ is equally God and Man right down to the level of his DNA.

I must make a point to investigate further in order to validate.
