I dropped by his hospital room yesterday, was OK'd by one of the cops assigned to guard him and passed on Jason's message. The pop has always been proud of the son. A lot of people have been saying it is a waste of taxpayers' money to operate on a man who has broken the law more than once, especially to drunk driving. The first option is to let him repay his debt to society and move on in life. You are supposed to love family unconditionally.
People have faults.
Some have more than others. His dad, he says, pushed him in his early years of throwing shot and discus. It's a sad story, surely. I didn't stick around to watch his dad read the last line. Didn't have to.
