A Missed Opportunity: a Father's Final Prayer Mr K. E. Decker

This inspiring short story looks at the mistakes of a young working father and the consequences that his neglect brings on his family. The story focuses on the son of the father that is now a young man looking at making himself a name 3000 miles from home. His mothers desire to make sure her son does not make the same mistakes as his father. The fathers alienation, rejection, and separation from his family for years never quenches his desire to make things right. And his one final attempt to reconnect with his son ends tragically short.
