    INTO THE DARKEST HEART

    INTO THE DARKEST HEART

    $2.00Price
    My father had a son.  The son was me.  My father’s own father had died the year before, and the birth of the child partially filled that hole.  The child’s arrival was a relief.  It was a spring day after a long winter.  It was hope realized.  The son was hope.  I was the son, and I was hope fulfilled.

    My father had a son that he didn’t know what to do with. So he carried his son with him everywhere he went.

    My father had a son, and he became a stay at home dad. He didn’t consider himself a pioneer in gender equality. He didn’t see himself riding the front of the wave of stay at home fathers. He didn’t think about gender roles at all.
