I remember story after story my dad would tell me about his childhood, how him and his brothers (he had 5 by the way, yes 5 brothers! see why I stopped trying for that girl??) would run out and play in the community all day, skate on the river behind their house and have so much carefree fun. When he and my mother raised me not a whole lot had changed, we lived in the same safe small community he was raised in and my friends lived close by. I was always touring the town with my BFF's, walking to … [Read more...]
