DAD

I DON’T REMEMBER A LOT OF GOOD THINGSABOUT MY DAD. I KNOW MOM REALLY LOVED HIM AND ALVIN AND EARL TOLD THAT HE WAS A GOOD MAN WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED. LIFE WAS HARD AND THEY WAS VERY POOR . HE HAD FRIENDS THAT DRANK. WE LIVED IN A DRY COUNTY SO A LOT OF THE BOOZE WAS HOMEMADE. MOST OF MY MEMORIES OF DAD ARE BAD AND SO WAS JIMMY’S AND HOWARDS. MOM NEVER GOT REMARRIED OR WENT OUT WITH A MAN AFTER THE DIVORCE AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE LIVED FOR HER SONS,WHICH SHE DID, THE REAL REASON I NOW BELIVE WAS SHE NEVER FELL OUT OF LOVE WITH DAD
