William Darnell Sr Biography

Hello, Everyone

My name, is William Darnell Sr. I'm a retired carpenter, and a father of 5 grown children, 4 boys, and a beautiful daughter. My wife's passed away, 13 yrs now, so that makes me, a widower. My oldest, a son, is passed as well. I also have 6 grandchildren, 4 boys, and 2 beautiful granddaughter's. I've been writing poetry for around 20 yrs. My inspiration's God, my 7th grade English teacher, and my woodshop teacher. The greatest thing I have ever done, was married my wife, may she rest in peace, and the children she has given us. I was supposed to write a story of a tragedy that has happened to my family. But, having some difficulties. So, I'm just going to come right out and tell you. Two of my children had been raped, by a family member as some or maybe most of you might well know. My late wife's little brother done this. I hold myself responsible, most say, it wasn't my fault and I get that. But, the truth is, we knew. more to come... And, for this reason alone, that we knew, I hold responsible. I, as a father, husband, protector, and a man should have been assertive, regardless of my wife's feelings, having our children's best interest at mind, and said no, absolutely not! Ok, this is a Bio, an entry as to who I am, a briefing. I'll carry this story over to my blog. Anyways, that's me!

Best of Wishes,

William

Yes, I believe he did approve of me both drawing and the portrait of Frank. But, of course, he's getting older, four now, so we are accustomed to each other. He's been a rescue since he was five weeks!

Thank you, Tom! I value your sentiments and appreciate your presence in my life as well. But, I have to say here, since I've picked the pencil back up seven, eight months ago, my portfolio has grown rather large. It's helping me find a bit of me that has been gone for a very long time. Take care, my friend, and thanks again for the visit and comment. Best of Wishes, William
