As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew Als now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.

I hadnt heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to defend an alcoholic. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. m really puzzled by something, I said. I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?
Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, I love you, son.
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.
