As the author of this book my children were my Inspiration. Most kids experience Situations like this all the time and sometimes children is left with out having a father around at all. Most fathers Do not understand how important it is to stay active in there childrens life, and what kind of impact that a father has on there childs life. I want to give thanks to God for giving me a purpose in life. I want to give thanks to my step father author, James S Smith Jr. (R.I.P) for spending quality time and believing in me. I want to thank my mother and father for giving me life. I want to thank my four children for giving me the strength to go on and also believing in there mom.
