Life wasn't always easy but he always found away to make things happen for his kids, often spending more time traveling to work than at work. He was finally blessed with a good job where he still worked many hours of over time. One of our children had a child at the tender age of 14. He provided care for both of them until our daughter was able to. Due to extenuating circumstances he still takes care of one of his daughters and her 2 kids.
