Part of my job is disaster recovery work so I've been in Joplin, MO much of this month. I'm returning home tomorrow and hope to begin posting the first entries from the book Jared and I have worked on. For now I can say that fathers play a crucial role in the lives of their children. This may seem like common knowledge, but it's important to realize this is true whether you're a good father, a bad father or an absent father. Your behavior as a father directly impacts your child for their entire life. Even if they live to be 100 and even if you never meet them. This blog and our book is dedicated to helping men see their role as father and encourage them to take it seriously.
In my last post I shared some about the fact Jared, at 12 years old, had already experienced three different men in the role of father. For me it was two men. My biological father left when I was three years old. My stepfather left when I was 20. Both have left indelible marks on my life that will be woven into what's shared here. For now I can tell you that one died in 1991 and the other in 1992 and every day I still deal with their influence on my life. And some of that influence was good...most was not. As always, I encourage you to really consider your father(s) and join me on this journey to become the dad you wish you had.
