Fathers day has come and gone, but what about the other 364 days of the year? Many fathers react differently to the day depending on where they are in their lives! It may be especially difficult for a father who has lost a child. Award-winning author Richard V. Battle tragically lost his son when he was nine months old! Like every father, Richard wished to give his son a life full of possibilities, opportunities, and the future he deserved. He wrote his six-month-old baby boy John a letter sharing 43 truths, based on Christian scripture, just in case he didn’t survive to teach them to him. But the unthinkable reality did not give Richard the time or opportunity!

Richard’s new book ‘The Unopened Present’ reveals a father’s love and the gift left behind by a life cut short. It expands on the letter Richard wrote many years ago, filled with timeless truths in short, easy-to-read lessons to aid parents in teaching younger children and enable older kids to discover the wisdom in these life lessons on their own.

“It was important to me for my son to benefit from the lessons I had learned, without making the mistakes I had made,” says Battle, a father, media commentator, and award-winning author of ten books. “Unfortunately, we lost John in 1998, but my son taught me more than I had the time to teach him”, acknowledges Battle who offers his new book with a prayer that people find something in it to benefit them, their children, and family.

Richard’s battle with the loss of his infant son and his dealing with grief inspired him to help grieving parents and dads. “Our faith assures us we will see our loved one again. I don’t grieve where my son is, but where he isn’t,” believes Richard and this has been a beacon that motivates him to tackle each day with positivity.
