Overview
At the age of nine years old, I became the man of the house suddenly, when the person I called Dad died. Then at the age of seventeen, my mother told me that my dad who had passed, was not my biological father. Though tried to tell me of him, I didn't want to hear her or even accept what she was saying about another person being my dad. There was no other dad to me except the dad who died when I was nine years old. Showing me a newspaper clipping of some other man's truck accident, I didn't want to at that time, know about. But then, when I was in my sixties, I was wondering of family I never met and are they out there for me to connect with. The surprise information I got while in my seventies, I am ever thankful for. I had to become a man without a dad to teach me. Thank GOD my two sons did not go through not know me. My wife Delphine and I have done and are doing our best being lead by our Christian upbringing and strong teachings by others.
