The stats on fatherless homes are sobering — For as long as I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a dad.

You don’t have all the time in the world — Being a father has been the greatest duty of my life. Raising my children into people that other people like because of who they are makes me proud. My wife and I did a great job. They are 25, 23, and 21 years old now and each is living a…
