THE MICHIGAN CHRONICLE Dads & Grads James Pratt M y husband James is the epitome of a
good man and great father. He is truly my soul mate and I feel so happy our three children and I have him in our corner. When I see him play with our boys Jibreel and CJ, I feel so good because they have a strong man to guide themselves after and when I see him jump rope and play with our daughter Taylor I feel lucky for her because she’ll know when she’s older to settle for nothing less than “Daddy’’ because he treats her so well, I want to say “Happy Father’s Day’’ to a man who is so lov- ing and good to his family. We love you! — Tracee, Jibreel, CJ and Taylor
