Sundays In My City

I grew up without a father and never once felt deprived because I had no idea what I was missing.

Now I know.
002

One of the greatest joys in my life is watching my beautiful daughters being loved, protected, celebrated, and cherished by their father.

001

He will always be the very best choice I ever made for them.

021

Happy Father’s Day from San Francisco, CA to all the wonderful fathers out there. The world is better because of you and so are your children.

 

I showed you mine, now show me yours.

    I grew up without a father as did my two youngest boys.  I thank my oldest son for being a great big brother to them and being much like a father.  Warmest kudos to all those fathers and father figures out there.
