| I’ll never forget that smile |
Dear Dad:
You were the best father next to God. I love you very much, and I miss you.Many times, I don’t think I’ll ever be good enough for you because I put you on such a high pedestal that you’re out of reach, but I shall continue chasing the ghost of “I’m proud of you” past, and carry on. Your voice still yells at me in the back of my head, “You lack discipline and focus,” and you thought I didn’t listen to you. Well now you know. I was listening in all those conversations about how the decisions I make today affect my tomorrow, and about how we are running out of cigarettes every time we ash (that wasn’t bad advice from someone doped up on long-term morphine use). I sometimes catch myself sitting like you and I wonder if it’s a biological thing or a learned behavior, and then I’m just happy I’m like you in some sense.

He eventually sold it to the church for a dollar who turned around and sold it for a couple hundred thousand. |
