Dear Son,
Shit you didn’t know…
How could you?
You were just a kid.
What you didn’t know is…
How being your dad inspired and guided everything i did (and why i did it)…
Told you High School freshman year you had to get involved in some after school activity. Never told you what it needed to be other than it was with a group of others that met daily after school.
You didn’t during first semester. And i didn’t make you.
But i insisted you do it second semester.
Further, i reminded you that you could pick anything you wanted.
And i also revealed that if you didn’t pick, i would pick for you.
And i would pick track and field.
Why?
Not because i wanted you to become a runner.
But because track and field offered many different choices.
You picked Shot Put.
Which i thought was a brilliant choice.
Coach Sharrod Williams talked you into cross-country to start your sophomore year.
Never saw that coming.
