I say to all fathers - be as good as you can be- because your sons and daughters will follow in your footsteps.
It's just like being a father; you got to show them love and you got to show them the path. I don't like this role-model stuff, though.
My father is the reason I am the way I am today. He's why I acted up and he's why I prayed to be the opposite of him. We made up before he died but I vowed to never raise my kids like how he raised me.
I've been a biker, I've been a convict, I've been a husband, father, and son.
