the last 2 entrys are poems

Hi all , the last 2 entrys are poems I thought up , they are based on my life from when I was a kid to later in life .

life for me when I was a kid was not the best – for those of you grew or are growing up with an alcaholic parent you know how it is – things did get better for me when I was in my late teens because my dad got help and he made me get help because I was drinking alot when I was a teen , as a result my dad and I spent more quality time together and developed a really good relationship (better than we had ever had in my whole life) and I became a good and responsible person and I can honestly say that if it were not for my dad I do not think I would be the man I am today -when I was getting help I learned alot about what was going on with him and why he said and did the things he did when I was  young and I was able to forgive him and move on to have a much better life with him .

one day when I was 24 my dad said some really good things to me and he told me he was very proud of me and I broke down crying cause It was the first time he ever said that to me and i never thought he would ever say the things he said to me that day (in the past he told me he hated me that I was a pos he told me I was nothing and no one would ever like me and other mean things) it was really cool to hear my dad say really nice things about me .

my dad passed away in 2003 , I look back on how I felt when I was young and how much I wished he would die and then I think about how things changed and how much I miss him wish he was here with me today !!
