DADDY WORKING HARD...LOVIN HARD
A few years back, I took my mom to visit the Story Corps booth in Chicago as a way of ensuring we'd always have a way to talk to eachother, even when we're away, or no longer on Earth. The experience was one for the ages. We opened up to eachother about things in a very emotional way. No tears were shed, but certainly some emotional and honest moments. If you've ever listened to Story Corps, you're in for some of the best story telling available on the web. Maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise when I came accross the story of John L Black and his son/wife's recount of John's traits as a loving, stern, and providing father. The part about dad's "Stinky feet" after a long day of work, bring back sooo many memories for a kid growing up in a working class family. Kudos to all the hard working, stand on your feet dads creating these kinds of memories for their sons and daughters.
