Dear Dad

Many may ask why a journal like this is important well for me it is simple. As I travel to various schools teach in higher education provide services to children and families as a social worker a pastor in a community church and communicate with various daughters throughout the country I sense the trauma of fatherlessness.Being a man who grew up without his father due to cancer I am sensitive to this trauma. Life without a father is harder than I can articulate and as complexed as one can explain. I have found peace in writing out my experience which is my purpose for providing this journal.
