The day was January 3, 1946, a new year that followed on the cusp of a war that had devastated all for nearly seven long years. World War II had taken a toll on everyone, but thankfully, the event now was over.

Enough
It was 1968, and I was ten years old – not even out of elementary school. My parents had been separated for more than two years, and it was just my mother, my sister, and I. My father could not be depended upon to come through consistently with a monthly payment of forty dollars in child support. He was a lot of things, but my father was above all things a talker, a used car dealer, a gambler, and a man who used alcohol to monitor his stress.
