Your parents should treasure you.
Be by your side, at all coasts.
They shouldn't just abandon you, for someone else.

i dreaded the day that my dad left. It is exactly 6 months and 26 days since i last saw him. Almost 7 months ago now, he was silently packing his stuff in tall, bulky suitcases, hoping he wouldn't forget any important belongings. It would be so awkward to later come back to your wife and daughter, that you so easily left. Wouldn't it? Maybe he couldn't care less. He's never been this cold.

I try not to think about it, though. I still smile like i did before he left. But some days i just hurt. During those times i attempt to figure out what hurts the most. Is it the hollowness that's left behind? Or maybe knowing the woman that he left to be with, maybe that broke my heart. Seeing her almost every day, i can't help but feel pain. Wondering if she knows her Evan is my dad. Mrs Schistad seems happy.
