Wow, what a powerful read. I wish I was a boost nominator. I hate that people celebrate alcohol now that I have gone through it as a kid and then myself as an adult. I feel so proud of you that you learned from your dad's mistakes and didn't follow suit. That is incredibly commendable. I feel sad for that boy on the step. Too bad we didn't live next to each other during those times. I was always out back with my dog.
