Losing someone to addiction is a great pain but sculpting something so beautiful out of this pain is just great! Love the poem!

Addiction is a hard thing. I'm sorry your going through this... I too, have gone through this. But I wasn't there for my father. I was told lies to make me ignore him, which I did (very young age).

I regret ever listening to my family because I know I could've saved my father.

He passed away in 2002. I lost him when I was 13yrs of age, and hadn't seen him since I was 7yrs.... Parents divorced... very nasty one.

Go to him, and don't stop. Tell him how you feel and that you want him to be in your life and more importantly to walk you down the aisle at your wedding and to see his grandkids.
