People on Sundays

Michael Childs is proud that three of his children have graduated from Midwest City High School. Proud that his youngest two are still there and on the honor roll for their grades. And, as he knocks on a wooden end table next to his chair, proud that he has no grandchildren. Natasha, Chris, Michael Jr., Casey and Ebony live with their father in a three bedroom house in Midwest City. He’s had full custody of them for the last six years. On Father’s Day, Childs took his children to church and they shared lunch. In the evening he straightened the house and prepared for another week at work while the kids did the dishes. “It’s tough sometimes. But I make the most of it.”
