We need to do more to help the children who do not have fathers.
My Uncle Dennis did not have a father, his father died when he was a child, and my Uncle Dennis had a horrible life. He never got married, never owned a home, spent a huge part of his life in prison, was a drug addict, and over-dosed and died at the young age of 50 here in my apartment. He never even owned a new car ever in his life. He never even finished high school.
My father died when I was a child too, my father died when I was 9 years old. But, my Grandmother helped me, I worked with my Grandmother washing dogs, she was a dog groomer, and she taught me how to run a business, I managed the dog kennel for 6 years, and I was never late, and I never missed one day of work in 6 years. I got to work early, and I stayed and left late. And I saw all of my customers who were honest and successful hard working business owners, etc, I had customers who were actors, and the people who owned the local newspaper were my customers, I had a lot of good customers, and they traveled all around the world, I took care of their dogs while they traveled, etc. So, I was poor, and I did not have a dad, but I knew that you could have a good life if you are honest, and if you work hard. So that was what I tried to do. I went to college, I went to acting school, and I tried to make an honest living.
I never sold drugs, and I never went to prison, and I am not a criminal. I tried to be honest and I worked hard.
I still have problems, I never owned a home, I spent 2 years homeless on the streets, I have never been married, I do not have any children, and I am mentally ill from being homeless and from all of the things I experienced. But, I am smart and I got therapy, and I went to a psychiatrist, etc. I did not allow myself to stay sick.
But I did take the time to get an education, and I studied hard, and I wrote a book and I wrote a movie, and I was a cook at a casino in Nevada and I could easily run my own night club in Rome, Italy.
I am not going to over-dose like my Uncle Dennis, and I am not going to be a criminal. No matter how hungry I get I will not be a criminal. And I was homeless for 2 years, and I never did drugs, I never sold drugs, I never committed any crimes. My only crime was poverty and not having a dad to help me and to guide me.
So, now that I am older and wiser it is important for the people to teach the young people who do not have fathers to guide them. And I have had neighbors who did not have fathers and I tried to guide them away from drugs and towards going to college and working honest jobs.
We need to help the children who do not have fathers, and we need to guide them towards college, and we need to help them with honest business loans, etc. The movie studios can help the children who do not have fathers by letting them work as interns at the studios, and they can get experience and they can learn and they can make connections, etc.
There is a lot that we can do to help the children who do not have fathers.
Salute,
