My dad left me, my sis & my mom when I was 5 years old...At the time I was sad, But didn't understand fully what was going on. A short time after that, My mom started dating a new guy and till this day I will respect him more than any man I will ever meet...Why? Because he was there unlike my father to play video games with me, And help put together car models that I always use to have problems with.

My stepfather is a kid trapped inside a mans body...He would always go bike riding with me & my friends, In the summertime it would be all my friends verses him in water fights, The same for snowball fights. He would be out there everyday after work with us playing street hockey.

He taught me how to skate, How to shoot a puck on skates without falling on my ass.

There is one thing I really miss, I miss getting him his beers from the fridge and opening them for him...I don't know why, But I always loved doing that. I still do when I am over there visiting him.

He broke up with my mother for another girl about 2 or 3 years ago, At the time I hated him...I lost all respect that i had for him. The man that raised me from the age of 5 to 25, Tryed his best at teaching me from right & wrong...This same man turned around and did something that i could never do to the girl I love...And I could not understand how he could do something like that to me & My Mother.

I still remember the day they sat me down and told me that they were breaking up, My mother had tears running down her face...My stepfather could barely look me in the eye....I hated him, I wanted to kill him. I thought that this was the perfect father figure...Someone who would never do the same as what my father did to me.

As time has past though, I have realized that what he my stepfather has done was stupid...But nobody is perfect, I will never look at him the same as I once did..But I cannot turn on the man who raised me and taught me sooo much stuff.
