Dear god,

I was siting by a old run down record store. It was early in the morning. Their was a few people walking the sidewalks. I hadn't noticed the man sit down beside me until he spoke.

"Having a bad day?" I looked to my left to see a old man, with a gray beard, and dirty clothes siting next to me. He looked homeless, like me.

"Yes, well try a bad month." I said not looking at the old man.

"Me to, but trust me when I say this." He paused and then looked me and said "Everything happens for a reason."

I have heard that expression so many times before.

I almost couldn't believe that was the crazy old mans advice.

After a while of thinking about what he had said.

I realized something.

That crazy old man was right.

Everything does happen for a reason.

Their is a reason why mom died in that car crash so many years ago. The reason was so my dad would blame me.

Their is a reason why my dad blames me for my mothers death. The reason was for me to finally stand up for my self and leave.

Their is a reason why I left, and not just to escape my dad.

The real reason, but Im yet to find that out.

Love,

Bree
