A Letter from a Father to a Son Gladstone D. Meyler

As an adult, my desire was to have many children. I was blessed with the birth of only one daughter. Her name was Denise. This entity, my daughter, brought me undiluted happiness for the time that she spent on this earth. She was taken away by an automobile accident at the early age of twelve. I have never stopped searching for her departed soul, hoping to repeat the joy that was once mine. In my travels around the world, I have adopted four children, bringing the added love and affection I once had. The joy of bringing sunshine into a child's life, fulfills my happiness as a father. My son stepping on the threshold of manhood, I found it necessary to advise him of the hills and valleys he may have to climb.
