One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other.
I grew up not liking my father very much. I never saw him cry. But he must have. Everybody cries.
I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn’t want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.
Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.
I’m more comfortable with whatever’s wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn’t measure up to the standard he set.
