21. Kick...I HATE him...

I don't think I've EVER "Hated" someone before. But him.... I HATE.

My dad was in WWII. He was a Lt. in the Army. He had panic attacks (as my sister and I have had on and off) but back then they called it being "shell shocked." When my sister's boyfriend (who I adored) was drafted and went to Viet Nam, he was shot five times but survived without any permanent physical disabilities. When Carl came home, it was my dad who completely took him under his wing (I don't know what Carl's family situation was). I was pretty young during this time -10 years old. Carl was at our house almost all the time (he and my sister weren't boyfriend/girlfriend anymore but remained very good friends). It was when we got older that my sister (who's eight years older than I) explained to me that Dad was the only one who Carl felt truly understood him and actually the only one he could be around for any length of time. My dad's business caused him to travel around the state (by car - in TX). He took Carl with him on a lot of his business trips.

He was a wonderful father. I mean he was amazing beyond description. He was killed in a car crash when I was 12 years old.

I don't know.....when I saw that picture just now it made me cry..

I FUCKING HATE YOU dt. You're a MONSTER.
