She asked me what I know about him.
“What do you know about your dad?”
My dad. My. Dad. I never say those two words together.
“I know his name and that we look alike. I know his parents were alcoholics. I know they owned a chain of funeral homes. I know he moved to Madison for a while, but came back to Green Bay. I know he was addicted to heroin and I know how he died.”
I paused.
“That’s all.”

Those aren't the greatest seven things to know about someone.
especially a dad.
I'm sorry.
Hi Jay - It's ok. It's a weird and sometimes difficult story but it's my story and I try to appreciate it for that.
ouch. sometimes I wonder what my kids would say when asked the same question. actually I wonder this all the time.
esb: I'm sure it'd be a whole lot more than seven things. Probably like a whole novel more.
I'm waiting patiently for the next chapter.
Still here.
I'll wait.
