Thank you for the kind feedback, Jennifer, and for the amazing perspective of faith gained and restored due to the various folks that God puts into our paths.

It is refreshing that there are still fathers like you.
My husband is the same.
Patient, kind, understanding, yet firm.
HE guides us in the direction we should follow. It is up to us to decide whether we listen, or ignore him.
When my second son was in the Transplant facility in Miami, I saw unimaginable things. I watched infants slowly die, suffering from trauma that “fathers” and “mothers” inflicted upon them. In speaking with the “other parent” I would learn that they were beaten because they were “being difficult” and not “following directions”. It saddened me that parents, who are suppose to gently guide their children…would hurt them in such a manner.
People like those parents cause one to lose faith in humanity… Then, I read your post, and realise that there are amazing, morally sound, people still out there.
Thank you for the post.
Jennifer
