When you said, "...he was so relieved when his dad died..." that really struck me. I guess I'd always thought that children love their parents no matter how rotten they are, no matter how abusive or morally bankrupt and it's nice to hear someone just come out and say that it's not always that way. I've always struggled with thinking that...I think how could a rational human love his abuser, no matter how awful he is treated, and a part of me is so relieved to hear that some people don't feel that way. I like your honesty, the bald way you say that and I found the fact that he never touched alcohol afterwards interesting. I also like the lyrics of this song. Thanks for making me think.Snizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609352449272402863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-16830020915570604982008-01-15T08:03:00.000-04:002008-01-15T08:03:00.000-04:00You have a wonderful way of paying tribute to peop...You have a wonderful way of paying tribute to people, Julia.
