As a father Vernon has desired to be present for his own children, but because of the challenges and the difficulties, he has been unable to do everything that he desires to be to Heaven, Angel, Saquan, Miracle, Promise, Jalen, Jada, and Mishawn. This book is a gift to his children and every other child who has had an absent, distant, or lost parent. It is also an example to those fathers who wonder how I can share something deeper, everlasting and more fulfilling than a brief visit, a letter, a card or a phone call. The author Vernon T. Bateman gives each of us an example of redemption as he commits himself to self-improvement so that he may be able to help other betterment.
As you open these pages to go with Vernon and each character, imagine again, or fantasize anew and share a time of bonding with your child, your student, and your grandchild and find yourself saying, I Too, Want to Fly!
Vernon’s growth is a testament to the power of change, the will to improve and the miracle of hope. Today he too has taken flight and making a positive difference.
