Tony Woodlief cherishes his boys:
They are sweet and they are good and mostly I pray I don’t mess that up. I used to have grand plans about teaching them how to use chain saws and shotguns, about showing them how to think and speak and be good men who do good and important things. More and more I hope on being able to protect what is already good in them, and hope, further, that some of it rubs off on me.

You love her even if she cries from 11pm to 3am and then promptly covers you in liquid poo.
