Graffiti Starts At Home...

So the other day I was doing some things around the yard at home and ran across this small scrawled message on a gutter downspout. The first reaction of the father in me was to lecture my daughter on the evils of graffiti and make her clean it up. But, then I couldn’t—the more I thought about it, the more it warmed my heart. As a parent, you try so hard to have a home that allows your kids to feel safe and secure and loved. And you know, that in this world, that’s not something everyone is able to do for one reason or another.

 

Every now and then it’s nice to get confirmation you might be doing your job right. [grin] I think I’ll let it stay on the downspout…
