		<description>I can't argue with these sentiments. Van's the best father I know of, too. 

Also, kudos to you, Marty, for the gutsy "open letter."</description>

		<description>You know, I completely agree with this post.  My parents were divorced and my mom fought constantly to keep away from my dad.  Why?  Because I was physically, emotionally, and sexually abused in his home.  The fact that dads like Van exist is incredibly comforting to me.  And I find it so desperately sad that he's so far away from his kids.  Dana, if you ever see this -- you're very lucky to have Van as your children's father.  Don't let any other problems cloud the realization of that.</description>
