Always be there

March 29, 2022 |

nobody asked me but I find it very heroic that Will Smith defended the honor and life force of his wife. My parents almost did the same things for me. My principal in high school, an Abraham Lass, had a grudge against me. he was in partnership with a math teacher in a tutoring service. his wife hated my family because my mother was very attractive and her husband the math teacher admired her. the principal kidnapped me after school and took me to his house.

next day Artie and Miltie, two tough cops written about in The Gang, came in uniform with their guns to the office of the principal. There was no violence. Indeed the principal tried his utmost to preclude my getting into Harvard. But my father was always there for me in every way.

a similar instance is described in Elmer Kelton's memories of his father. the father was a great cowboy and was somewhat disappointed with Elmer because he went to Univ Of Texas to be a writer. the father took Elmer to the bus stop and told him he would always be there for him.
