The difference with this story is how the father steppe up to the place and worked on restoring their relationship. This is a beautiful story to have a grown man finally stepping up and taking responsibility for the mistakes he made.
When Coley came home, his son (Ahmarr)was then 16 years old. A lot of time has past and many memories were missing in this child’s life. Though they had little contact through letters and visits, there was a big gap that needed to be filled. When Coley was released from prison, the first thing he did was go see his son. He was honest with his son and took responsibility for leaving his son. He then started listening to his son and hearing some hard truths. This was the beginning of the process of restoring their relationship. They started walking and talking while getting to know one another better.
