This weekend, my Daddy would have turned 70 years old. He loved his family so much, but too often he made choices that created a disease with no cure and a thirst that was never satisfied. Both of these led him away from his family and eventually took his life. I agree with the truth in Daniel Beaty’s piece “Knock Knock” that no matter what our fathers did…or didn’t do…we can be better.
This is the message that I want all of my students to hear, such inspiration!
