Michael Phelp’s Dad

Imagine you’re Fred Phelps, Michael Phelp’s dad, watching your son break record after record at the Beijing Olympics on TV from your home near Baltimore. Imagine not picking up the phone to call and congratulate your son, the yound man you helped bring into this world. Hard to imagine, isn’t it?

Michael’s mom and dad divorced when he was 9 years old and sadly Fred Phelps has not maintained a relationship with Michael. No doubt this cold reality poured on young Michael each and every day from the time he was a young boy became an important ingredient in the fuel that drove him to the heights he has reached.

Love your kids dads, love your kids.
