A Day With My Dad

today i got something i never had.i spent this day with my brother and dad .this 
might not sound odd to all of you.but my dad is someone we never knew.the beer 
stold him away when we where kids.we always thought it was something we 
did.he drank more and more everyday.and along with the alcahol came the 
rage.he seemed to hate us more with time .we where to young to know he was 
out of his mind.and with this sickness he did not see that he was hurting his 
family.so we lost something we will never know a fathers love and as most of you 
know a pat on the back a good job son.praise you for a job well done. i love you 
son is what we long to here.but we lost all that to a bottle of beer.now you know 
why this day was so great just the three of us together.and i had a blast this 
memory i will cherish because finally at last.i know what it fells like having a dad...
