Dear Son, Prison Walls Can’t Separate Us | A Conversation with Derrin Perkins, Jr. | DSP Ep 14

Dear Son, prison walls can’t separate us. Imagine being separated from your father at the age of two…for any reason. For some, this could be the start of a miserable life filled with anger, sadness, and regret (and understandably so). That’s not at all how this story plays out. Although he certainly felt the pain of his father not being around physically, Derrin was consumed with love from his family that eased the pain. Most notably, his mother poured into him beyond measure, and protected…no, promoted the relationship between him and his incarcerated father. They both waited patiently, believing daily that the family be would physically be reunited. After serving 27 years, Derrin’s father was released from prison, and they picked up continued the relationship he’d longed for his entire life. Derrin is a mild-mannered, respectful man, husband, and father. He made a conscious choice throughout his life to focus on the good. Even when presented with examples of what his character shouldn’t be, he chose to find the lesson in what not to do. He is mature beyond his years and revels in the joy of fatherhood. “I just want to be a great father,” he confessed during our conversation. I think he’s closer to greatness that he even knows.
