Children with strongly committed fathers learn about trust early on. They learn about trust with their hearts. They learn they’re wanted, that they have values, that they can afford to be secure and confident and set their sights high. They get the encouragement they need to keep going through the rough spots in life. Rough spots that are in every life, in abundance. I learned all those things from my own father, and I count my blessings. - Former Vice-President Al Gore
