What defines a father? Is it merely biology, or is it the love and dedication shown over the years? My biological father, Roy, was a charismatic entrepreneur who traveled extensively for work. He was rarely home, and eventually, he and my mom, Evelyn, parted ways. I was just four years old. Soon after, Christian entered our lives, a kind-hearted teacher who truly stepped up to the plate. This is a story of how I came to understand the essence of fatherhood through the actions of the man I proudly call Dad.
