    My dad’s advice sums up basically to “come back to Jesus.” Mom was far worse, but she died recently.

      Yeah my dad never bothered me with that, but boy oh boy my mom does.

      That was the biggest part of their struggle. My dad was a wild animal and my mom should’ve married a preacher.

      She’s married to a man who sees the world like she does now. He’s a good dude and he’s perfect for her. She spent 30 years trying to make it work with my dad.

      I like my mom’s husband, but stories could be written about my dad (wasn’t my father, just raised me).

      He lived a life that would make some award winning movies look like Sesame Street.
