My father is known as a man with no morals. He was a serial cheater on my mother. He wasn't a very good father really. He was very selfish. But I want to tell you something about my father that happened today, that really makes me beam with pride about him.
When I was teaching I had a student that was from a background of extreme poverty and abuse. She would show up to class with black eyes, fat lips....I tried talking to her so many times but it was useless. Finally, I got her to agree to meet me off campus for lunch one day and I arranged to have my father there. When he saw her bruises and heard her story, he got her away from her abuser, set her up in a safe location, paid to have her protected by security guards, and paid for her education.
Tonight she received her master's degree in psychology. My father had not had contact with her since that initial meeting. I called him tonight to let him know about her degree and he simply said "good for her".
Everyone thinks my father is a slime because he cheated on his wife. My father is a great man. He saved this woman's life.
Daddy..I am SO proud of you!!!! And I am SO proud to be your son.
