I remember when everything was so easy. I remember all my parents laughs and smiles together. Everything was perfect! I'm not the guy you would be happy to see. I'm not the guy anybody would want to be. I knew that...
     March 12th, 2006 my dad and I went to go fishing out at the lake, we didn't catch anything. Sitting at the edge of the deck I asked softly "are you and mom getting a divorce"? He didn't answer. We packed up to go home not to much later. The whole car ride was silent.
     When I woke up the next morning my dad was gone, my mom and I had found a note taped to the front door. I slowly pulled the letter off as I glared out the window on the door. I watched the rain drops hit the sidewalk and bounce back up, then to finally hit the ground again. Then I began...
   "Dear Carol and Garrett,
     This is only for the best, please know I love you both. I'm leaving... Forever. Garrett this has nothing to do with you. However have your mom contact me tomorrow at noon by this number 713-435-2283 so we can talk this over. This isn't the way I wanted to do this but Garrett doesn't need to be involved. I feel like yesterday was hi......goodbye is today. Sorry!
