RE: WHAT AN ALMOST BLIND MAN TAUGHT ME ABOUT WRITING AND A POEM

in #writing7 years ago

Awesome post! Really excellent... My head is full of thoughts and it would take a whole post to write them out but mostly i miss my step dad. And i think of the good talks and the stuff i forgot to ask him. Words have the power to do that, yours in this case, thanks!

Thank you for stopping by. We never know what we have until it's gone. Everyone has something to offer us and when one person leaves, another sphere of knowledge, way of life, philosophy, skill and wisdom leaves.
I hope you gathered something from your step-dad before he passed on?

Without him i would either be dead, in jail, a junky or a thief... Most likely i would be dead by now. So yes, i learned a lot from him and i am grateful i had the opportunity to pay him back for it in a very special way. But since i couldn't pay him and my step mom in full i decided to pay it forward as well.
