All kind of good hair going on in that family

My dad was killed during a robbery when I was a baby. I never grew up knowing what it was like to have a father. I’m now a father to two young kids. Everyday I try and do something for them that I wish I had growing up or at least cuddle them to no end like I wish I could have had done to me.

Saying that, I still question myself on whether I’m doing it right.

Good on this guy.

I aim to do the same thing. Have two small boys myself and live a clean and sober life so I can be present and clear headed for them and be the father I wished I had growing up.
