Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

I Am Your Father.

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

If you don’t recognize the iconic phrase in the title of this post, we can’t be friends. Because, you see, round here – we’re bona fide Star Wars fans.
Of course, while we don’t think Darth Vader will be getting a Father’s Day card this year (though I am hopeful he’ll make a holographic appearance from beyond the grave in Episode VIII), the phrase “I am your father” has certainly taken on a life of its own. And, we all know someone who has uttered these words to their child at some point in their life.

Although most would argue that the father-son dynamic between Anakin and Luke was far from ideal, the familial relationship – though it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away – is nonetheless relatable for many families today. Maturity. Betrayal. Awareness. Love. Acceptance. Forgiveness. Of course, if we had to sum up the emotions and choose one prevailing theme, it would be a father’s ultimate love for his child. 

Feeling sentimental? Grab the tissue box. I’m pleased to share this touching video from Disney Channel Canada:
