DEAR FATHER, LEAD LIKE A PRIEST!

I could not keep it to myself anymore. I drove all the way to Dad’s office and confessed to him I was in love with a young lady. He asked for her name and description. He kept smiling.

My lovely wife was carrying our first baby. I travelled for about 48 hours out of town.
