    I have a bit of a story to tell about this particular question.

    It’s a question I asked of myself.

    Brought on by my sister calling child protective services on me after my wife died. She left me. With four children, and I was in mourning and not dealing well.

    It led me the ask the most painful question of myself. Am I a good father?

    The answer was no.

    I wasn’t a good father. And I’m glad she made that call. It woke me up, and I changed everything around. Or at least, I hope so.
