EARLE FRANKLIN STEVENS

THE REAL HERO IN MY LIFE
Looking back at all my sins growing up, I

realize now how wonderful I had it. This man
I called and knew as Dad kept the family
secret and did his best to treat me as his own.

I don't know many who would have the
courage or strength to do that in light of all

the problems I created. Now in my late hours
of life realize that he did, in fact, love me as
his own in spite of all the trouble I caused, all

the shame all the sorrow. He would always
do his best to bail me out. I will always see

and remember him as my Dad. I will always
love him no matter how distant our blood. I
know I will someday meet with him again,

and I pray that I can share my love, and my
appreciation for all the pain and suffering I MY DAD

put him through in this life. MY
HERO
