Not to derail the intent of this thread but living in the state of actors, murderers, lawyers, drug dealers, prof athletes, and scam artists, it seems we see more than our share of poor behaviour, people avoiding personal responsibility, a myopic focus on money/toys, special interest demands, entitlement greed and world class whining.
Reading about this father and son helps restore my faith and hope for the future of this country. NO ONE is a greater hero in my book than parents who share a focus on their family and its well being, while imparting a sure knowledge of what is right (not just legal), the backbone to do what is right when others do not, and the quiet dedication to confidently move forward through life as a living example of someone that has the personal responsibility to not only take care of themselves but those friends and family around them.
As a non parent, my hat is off for:
1. This father for taking care of his son.
2. The son for accepting what life has dealt him and moving forward with passion
3. All the TBNr's that go off to work everyday only to come home to do the most honorable thing in the world.......being a great parent.
4. The parents that never stop parenting.
Whew, glad I finally said that.....Now trying to figure out a way to talk "the boss" into a new PHD. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
