We lost a Great Dad- Scott Graves Tribute
I am crushed, confused, sad, mad, & floundering to understand a huge loss in our family. Scott Graves was 57-years-old. He died 3 days before my birthday & 7 days before his 58th birthday. When people die, we tend to overlook the bad and only focus on the good. That’s really not a bad thing […]

Is being a hard-ass dad wrong?
Is being a hard-ass dad wrong? Being only a hard-ass dad is not the answer. We’ve seen that story. Hard-ass overbearing dads drive their kids away and tear them apart.
