I Miss My Dad
Dad, I miss you a lot. When I was growing up with a disability and other people would laugh at me and humiliate me you did not. You gave me some tools needed to face up to people and situations. Even when mom was beating me and pulling my hair and verbally abusing me you made her stop and would reinforce my self esteem. When my mother's dad slugged me across the head for looking in my aunt's hand mirror, you took him aside and made sure he didn't do that again. Dad, my wife ended up being as abusinve as mom and even more so. she punched out my tooth and broke several pairs of glasses. I did something you and I didn't believe in. I got a divorce only because she wanted it. But, I no longer have to live in fear of physical abuse and mental cruelty. My sons have become fine young men and I shared with them some of the lessons I learned from you. You still live in my memories.
