“DADDY, YOU TAUGHT US…”

Danielle walked into my room with an activity book in her hands. She said, “Daddy, I am sorry. I accidentally tore my book while I was drawing on it”. I told her, “Girl, that’s fine. Be careful next time”.  The next thing she said was what shook me to my bones, “Daddy, you taught us that when we do not […]
