Beloveds,
One of the greatest Fathers and Grandfathers I have ever known was
Chuckie Dobbs.
Chuckie wholeheartedly believed that with the Mother, a Father
nurtures, loves, protects and raises Boys and Girls to be Compassionate Men and
Women. He was always was there for little league, went camping with the family,
took them across the United States in a van, and moved from Pittsburgh to St.
Thomas, VI because it was his wife's dream. He loved his wife Gayle, and tried
as best he could to support her and live together joyfully. She was my friend
first and their two Sons, Husn and Chaz are my God Sons.
Until Cancer took his
life, Chuckie remained an exemplary Man who faced and overcame many challenges
as an entrepreneur and a Master Electrician; including blindness from Glaucoma.
He was a Father, Grandfather, Brother and Friend to many, including me.
I
salute Chuckie and every Compassionate, Loving Father on Earth or in Heaven!
A Father is a Man who nurtures, loves, protects and raises Boys and Girls to be
Compassionate Men and Women!

Tribute to Fathers
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
