Yes I lost him long before he passed. But in looking back on my childhood, I realized he was never who I thought he was. He spent a lot of extended periods absent while on different jobs. It was those times we were the happiest. When he was home he was very strict and demeaning to our mother.
It is my mom I really miss and the adventures we had when he was gone from home. Midnight Bowling was the best.
