When I was Nick's age, before my father's cancer, I thought we were the Cosbys. My parents had good jobs, there was a feast on the table after church on Sundays. Shawnee and I would ride our Huffys around the neighborhood. We had good hair, and made straight A's. Except, as my mother reminds me, that wasn't reality. The jobs weren't all that good, and my father was never a happy man even before he got sick. And Shawnee was smoking pot at 9 and running away to smoke heroin at 15.
I never bore any illusions that my family was the Cosbys.
Your family wasn't funny.
At least you got to shoot your father. Mine had the nerve to die before I got back from Basic with skills and a loaded weapon.
You didn't miss much. I thought it was gonna be way more fun than it was.
