knows firsthand that her
children are with someone who would
do anything in the world for them: their
papa.
"Five years ago, Lori, a speech pathol-
ogist, was trying to arrange childcare
for when she went back to work after
her daughter was born:' said Lori's dad,
Murray Goldenberg of Farmington Hills.
"One of the days she needed someone
was Monday, a day when my business is
closed, so I volunteered!'
Goldenberg, an owner of Classic
Photography in Southfield, said,
"Unfortunately I missed a lot of time
with Lori when she was growing up. I
tried to be there for special occasions
but on weekends I was working."
Monday is still his only regular day
off, but Goldenberg said he wouldn't
want to spend it doing anything else.
