A Custodian with a
Million Dollar Dream
Picture this — a 21-year-old custodian, early morning shift, walking the halls of a building most people pass through without a second thought. No corner office. No fancy title. Just a man with a mop, a dream, and a scent so undeniable that people stopped mid-stride every single time.
“Excuse me — what are you wearing??” They asked him everywhere he went. Every time. Without fail.
That man was my father. He had a dream of being the million dollar man — and the truth is, the way he carried himself, the way he smelled? He already was. The world just hadn’t caught up yet.
He didn’t have the title yet. But he had the scent — and it said everything.
