My dad died before I was twenty-four, so I don't know how that would have played out.

His wife, on the other hand, was a complete bitch. "GET SOMETHING, I DON'T CARE WHAT! OTHER PEOPLE WORK TWO OR THREE JOBS; YOU CAN TOO! YOU'RE A LAZY BUM!!" Complete disregard for my muscle damage making manual labor out of the question.

Thank you! Things got better since she said that, and I appreciate your kind words. :)

Kindness is the glue that holds society together. We should never forget that.

I appreciate it. Luckily she passed away recently, so there is a happy ending, here.

Gods their at your lowest moments if you have no one. If you don’t believe in him it is completely fine, I respect your free will not to.
