    I would give the world for my daughter to know me, and to be able to be her father.
  • Shawn, 36

    I put out presents for my parents too with all three of our names on them. When everyone went to sleep that night, I set up the plastic tree with everyone’s presents underneath. My brothers woke up the next morning to their presents and I was the only one who didn’t have one. But that wasn’t true. My mother came out and my brothers thanked her. She looked at me and whispered “Thank you” and for me, that was my present, seeing everyone happy.

    Unless you want a better criminal, stop sending kids to prison. There has to be a better option if we want a brighter future for our youth.
