I am worried about my children.

They were a year old when President Obama was elected. They are 11 now... And it's hard to watch them go through the thoughts and emotions they do now as they witness present days.

Not much has changed from the youth of my parents. My dad is a few years older than you and has gone back to Ghana.

As much as I miss him, I understand why.
