I LOVE YOU DADDY

Ohio – It was a dark secret. The kind that destroys lives, devastates families and decimates faith. Nobody shared it with Valerie Spruill while her husband was alive. For years after his death, she heard bits of the story. It was something about an absentee father, something about her husband. None of it made sense, she said. That’s not until her uncle finally told her what no one else had: She had unknowingly married the father she never knew. Spruill met and married her husband-father in Akron and settled in Doylestown, a working class suburb of about 2,300. It was her second marriage. Spruill was a nice man, a good provider. He was kind to her three children from her previous marriage. “We had a good life,” she said.
