You left her. You left her poor, and heartless. Leaving like it was no problem, like you were going out to your favorite place but not comming back,ever. Didn't even bother meeting. Little money comming in, just me and her. Together without your help. I never asked for anything but love and she gave it to me, but you didnt. Not even a little., Finished the University, now a lawyer, with my own kids, and they ask, "where is grandpa?" I answer saying "I never had a father, it was always me and your grandmother." You came one day, i opened the door and saw a reflection of myself, same eyes,and same hands and i say, "Who are you?" You answer "Your father." I responded "I dont have a father, I only have a mother, she was the only one who gave me love. She gave me love for both roles as a father and a mother." I closed the door and said "he is my father, but never acted like one"


The author's comments:
The reason i wrote this was because of my cousin. I look up to her because she has been through a lot and she right now is someone in life. She never gave up on what she wanted to be and that was to be a lawyer. She grew up without her dad but her mother was there as a father and a mother.
