It's a story of family and how generations can come together to hold and heal. It's a story of pain and how it can drive you in the wrong direction as you struggle to escape it. This is the story of Chuck Bell, or Charlie Bell as he is when we first meet him. But who was this man? Who was Chuck Bell? How did he become the father he was to these young men? Where did he learn his values? What shaped him? ![]() You have shed a tear or two over the passing of their father, Chuck Bell, a man who taught his sons what to value and how to handle themselves on their journey through life.

He can't figure out what to do with all the pain and all the anger he is holding. But Charlie's dad is gone and Charlie just can't get his mind around it. Nobody expected the promise of those trips to be cut short by death.
