CNN.com - Three young boys survive plane crash - Mar. 3, 2003

There's something about being a Dad that rises up in me as I read of what must've been a heroic gift from this father to his boys. I can only guess the circumstances - but in giving them the benefit of the doubt, I see a father laying down his own life so that his sons might live on.

As my own kids sleep upstairs in relative safety, I pray that I am a father who will protect, provide, guide and mentor them into the life ahead.
