One day, I found things that answered all my questions of my life. After 17 painstaking years without my father, wondering hopeless night after night about him, I finally worked up the courage to ask my mother about him. Did I get the answers to my questions? Yes. Were they what I had expected? Yes. My mother did not want me to find out about him but she knew either way I would. But, what my mother didn't know was that I was going to do everything I could to find him.
