My son won’t listen to my advice, but may listen to yours. His father left me when he was only three. After his departure, I met other no-good men from that point on. I have had it hard, but kept my five children with food, clothing and shelter. Even though there was no father figure in the home, they grew up happy. I have two in middle school, two in high school, and one in college. webmaster@newpittsburghcourier.com (Gwendolyn Baines) Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://newpittsburghcourieronline.com/articlelive/articles/40524/1/Lifestyles-ReportOn-the-road-again/Page1.html It’s time for a vacation.
