Ezee Tiger,
Chris Henry did make bad decisions. And yes, he was very very lucky to have been given a second chance. Not too many folks are given second chances, esp. after having a police record like his.
I just feel for his 3 young children. To know that your parent is dead 9 days before Christmas. Heck, my sister died on October 16th and both Thanksgiving and Christmas last year were nothing like they used to be. We tried, but nope. Nothing will ever be the same again. No holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, just nothing. Her entire sense of being is gone. So yes, we create a new reality for her 2 young sons, but even they tell us - "it is not like how Mom would do it". Or "Mom was just the best". One is now 18 yo, and the second is 14 yo.
