Makes Me Think - Today, I looked at the picture of my father again. He was an alcoholic, and left our family when I was just two years old. He's never sent me a letter, or a birthday card (even though we share the same birthday). And even though I know I shouldn't, all I want in the world is just to talk to him. Just to hear my dad's voice. Just once. MMT

My father, an alcoholic as well, left me and my mother thought not until I was around ten years old. I remember his voice so well; it's hard to forget the sound of the man as he yelled in a drunken rage. Sometimes no memories are better than horrible memories.
