My Fathers Were My Heroes

I did not know my biological father. But the good news is I had another father who raised me. One is Sherman Leon Scarboro, my stepfather. He loved my mom, Barbara Carney Scarboro, so much he put up with her two bad kids (my brother and me). He taught me about the value of a work ethic that I still follow. I miss him all the time.

Another hero is my grandfather, Benjamin Carney. He taught me how to cook all kinds of food and how to plant collard greens. He was a very wise man. Sometimes I wish he were still alive so he could give me advice.

Then there’s mom. She is my mother and my father. She means the world to me. I love her with all my heart. When your biological father is not around, God will send you another father even though “he” may be female.

Spread love.
