gone…………………………….nah………………………i sense your presence all the time

forgotten……………………………..oh hell no……………………..one, only one JB

my friends loved coming over to watch us spar and you spar with them

nothing aloof about our family, and that’s what they loved, the barbs and the jests…………………………you were always on

we butted heads like mountain goats, and that’s the way we showed our love, good or bad

you new i was off the rails but you were handcuffed by Mom as far as getting me help

over………..done…………….gone                         i had to do what i had to do and all the talking in the world wasn’t going to change that                   you saw your brothers walk done this same road and so did i……………………didn’t matter

had to do it myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy way                and you knew it

sorry, i know it was painful to watch

i don’t blame anyone and getting over blaming myself, it went down like it did, i did what i choose to do, suffered the consequences and now can say it was worth it to be where i am today………………………i am very cool with that……………….thank-you God

miss you Dad, sorry i wasn’t a better listener, but i know you did the best you could to stop a runaway train

and i remember…………………………………more all the time

say Hi to everyone
