A Father/Son Relationship Rises ‘Out of the Ashes’

“I never knew when my father was coming home,” Ahmarr Melton told DelawareOnline.com.

For 14 years, Melton watched other boys play with their fathers and experience a unique relationship that he never had. His own father, Coley Harris, had been serving a second-degree murder sentence since Melton was two years old.

Being a Father behind Bars

Being a father is hard work.  Today’s dads have to be part counselor, part confidant, part disciplinarian, part encourager, part teacher, and part advocate.  A good dad has to be aware of all the things happening in his kids’ lives, and be available when those kids have questions, concerns, or fears.
