1. You were raised by a single mother and your grandmother. You know what it feels like to go through life without having your father to help guide you. I know the pain that comes along with being fatherless. My father was shot and killed when I was 11-years-old and there is no denying that my life would be totally different if I had a positive male influence in my life growing up. I think we would both agree that a having a father who is both physically and emotionally present definitely makes a difference in the life of a child.
2. You love your son. Those text messages that I read weren’t from someone who didn’t care. They were from someone who was fed up with the BS that occurs when two parents are not on the same page. I’m sure it hurt you when you weren’t able to see Marquise, but imagine how he felt reading those messages from you.
