Good men still exist in our world. If you read the news and the blogs each day you are inundated with the Mel Gibson, Tiger Woods and Ocho Cinco’s of the world. Much of the time the headlines scream about actions of men who aren’t holding up their end of the deal in society. Typically, they’re making bad decisions, exemplifying “cultural manliness” and slacking on being a “good man”. I have been lucky that the man that I have had a role model of manhood in my own house. My father was that example. He once walked around an entire winter with holes in the bottom of his shoes sacrificing money so that we could have money. He never father children outside of his marriage to my mother. He never cheated and he worked hard. I do believe that there is such a thing as a good man. A few days ago I was met with utter frustration as I went in card store after card store and was unable to find a decent birthday card to give him. I would ask manager after manager and they would give me a dismal reply, “Well that’s the way it is little lady. We don’t have that much in demand for Birthday cards for Fathers from children.” I was stunned at the second store but by the sixth store I was sad.
