Cheating Themselves
by Chris Bodenner
Coates muses on the fun of fatherhood:
I'm consistently amazed at the
coolness of building family. The first two years are drudgery, no
doubt. But then it just becomes awesome. ... My Dad once told me
something that has stuck with me for years. The saddest thing about so
many black fathers--and fathers in general--quitting on their kids is
that, invariably, they cheat themselves more than they actually cheat
the kid. I've seen a lot of folks turn out fine without knowing their
second parent. But the absent parent, permanently loses that link,
that ability to share the things that once excited them, that chance to
relive their own childhood with their flesh and blood. That goes for
D&D and for Devin Hester.
