Wish
Under my anger is misery.
I want Dad back.
I want our old life back, the one before he married this woman.
But Dad is gone, and nobody knows why.
With the crime rate being what it is, they made my father into another statistic, blaming drugs and what not. But I know better.
We may have been poor, but Dad was a scholar. He loved books. He never touched alcohol, not even at his own wedding. And he abhorred drugs. To the point that even I don’t mess with them either.
