Chris Gardner on fatherhood

[macrosolutions]

Hi Chris-I had a "successful" Dad who was never there for me or my 2 sisters. So I too decided that my 5 children will know me and my wife. We have a great life with them on a farm and our 15 year old teenage daughter still talks to us :) I just ordered your new book and look forward to more of your inspiring insights on life. You are the MAN!

Amen Chris.. I made the same promise to myself too, my biological father ran from me.. I have three wonderiful boys and they will know who I am. One of my sons is Autistic, but even he will know who I am. And I will know who they are. My oldest son he isnt my biological son, but I always tell him , you bio-dad might of ran, but my heart is always open to you.. That is what being a father is. Being there for a kid. Anyone can have sex, it takes more to be a father.
