I wanted just one super power as a father – the ability to suck all the sadness, pain and loneliness from my children’s lives. Like sucking rattlesnake venom from a bite, or “taking it back” like that big mystical dude in “The Green Mile.” Alas, though, they gotta live it, endure it themselves. So, instead all I can do is hope and pray they, and I, grow from it. I’m pretty sure they are; not so sure about me.
