Apology Avenue: I was blind, cowardly, and pathetic

The Streets of Our Lives

Have you ever wished for an apology that might never come?

In this episode of Apology Avenue, we hear a powerful letter from a father to his daughter, where he confronts his deepest regrets about failing to protect his children. Through his words, we explore the devastating consequences of his silence and cowardice.
