Author's Comment: I know it’s fashionable for kids to hate their parents/grandparents, especially in TV and film, but it’s something I never quite related to.
I was raised by my grandmother and mother while Dad committed himself to his do-over family. I couldn't "rail against" them because everything they did was for me and my brothers – theirs is a love I wanted to pay tribute to, to appreciate.
