The Playground - The Ghetto - The Child And His Dad

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 20, 2021

The difference was plain as day! It was a quick trip to the park on a Saturday evening. Nothing major, just a few minutes with the family to get out the hyper-activity. I didn’t notice it right away, but once it sank in, there was no stopping the waves of sadness, frustration, and anger.
