My mom was their when he was gone . It broke her that day, I never forgive my self for him. I thought that maybe it would be a prank play on me by me but nope just real, I remember the text a day before this happened "hey happy birthday dad's I love you " I said to which he replied with "thank you I love you too nut" I smile at that and thinking to my self that's the most wonderful thing I could ask for. something I guess I got grow up with him was that not everything is my problem or fail in life and one thing is that you have a big family with you Little heart. Being 15 years old a leaving a house and you first dad behind is sad, scary, and sick. But getting a new dad one that is like though dad's you see on tv or in movies that was my step dad Carl.
