Summary/Abstract: Nothing is more beautiful and more sublime than the bond of love between fathers and sons, especially after parents have passed away! This is a love - reflection of the God’s great and never‑ending love for us, humans; love is stronger than death. But not many parents succeed in planting in the children’s hearts this sublime form of love. Only those who proved worthy to receive in their soul and life sparks of God’s love manage to succeed. Such father was Father Stăniloae! A good and loving parent, but righteous and attentive to how children should understand mother and father’s sacrificial love. At 110 years since the birth of her father and 20 years after going to the Lord, in the International Symposium at Galati, Mrs Lydia Stăniloae evokes the image of the priest, teacher and theologian Dumitru Stăniloae, as seen through the child’s eyes from back then and portrayed by her mature and grateful love of today.
