i'm sure some of you know i went home to seattle for christmas to visit my family, but what most of you are not aware of is what an important trip it was for me. when i was born my mom was 16 or 17 and my dad was 21, they never got married and i just recently found out my mom actually went to have an abortion but was to far along. as soon as i came home from the hospital i stayed with my grandparents, when i was 3 they legally adopted me. my mom was always a loser, she has been a poor excuse for a parent for aslong as i can remember, but at least ( at times ) she tried to be a parent. my father on the otherhand, i hardly ever knew.. he was addicted to heroin since he was about 25, he tried to clean up a few times but was never successful. when i was about 11 everything seemed like it was finnaly working out, he was doing good for himself and was almost finished with his journeymen thing for work, then one day he just left and i didn't see or hear from him again. oh well, i got over it as much as i could and went on with me life. then out of nowere i got a letter in the mail from him, it was stamped with the WA prison ( department of corrections ) stamp that it was from an inmate. i read the letter and found out why he left, were he had been.. not good news. he was manufacturing meth to support himself and his habbit. fortionatly for him he was sentenced under the DOSA ( drug offender sentincing alternative ) he got a little bit of time instead of a **** ton, but he had to do inpaiteint drug treatments and stuff. he was released in january of last year ( right after i had moved to philly ) so i didn't get to see him, we kept in touch and finnaly had a chance to meet up when i was in town.

so here is my dad, this is the day after christmas and was the best gift ever, i know 99% of you don't give a **** but for the few that might, keep him in your prayers and hope that he stays on track this time. my grandpa died in march 03 and was the only dad i really ever knew ( legally, he was my father because they adopted me and i have always called him my dad ) i feel like i was given a second chance and to have a father and i'm very greatful
