Qincy (pictured above) is the son of 90's recording artist Al B. Sure and if you can't see it from the photo above, their resemblance is uncanny. Quincy recently wrote a letter entitled "A Letter to My Father" in which he tried to reach out to his estranged pops to no avail. My niece and nephew grew up without their fathers and I believe it's had a tremendously adverse affect on their lives. I felt the need to post Quincy's final letter as a wake up call to all fathers that your legacy is awaiting you....whether you chose to stand up now or later is dependent on you...but please understand the life or lives you leave in the ruin.
"Hello World.
I published a “Letter To My Father” recently and the tremendous response deserves my sincere thanks. I’m overwhelmed by how many people took the time to read my letter and listen to my record. I received thousands of calls, texts, comments and e-mails. Thank you for your compassion, support, and understanding.
To those that share my experience, I thank you for your courage. Many of you shared with me your life-experiences without your fathers. I say to you “This is only a season,” one aspect of life. Take the lessons and let them make you stronger and wiser. Commit to never make the same mistake.
I realized I was taking a great personal risk to share my feelings. I thought that revealing this part of my life was necessary. It was an important part of a process to help me understand who I am. I released years of disappointment and pain. My healing has begun.
I haven’t heard from my Dad since I published my letter. I know that eventually our paths will cross in this journey called LIFE. As it has often been said, “Time heals all wounds.” Now it’s time to move on with my journey. A journey where my faith tells me that my father and I will be stronger. Dad, I love you.
Again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone that has shared in this life changing experience with me.
Thank You Again…"
