[Bad Jack Bauer]

Fathers can be great people if given a chance.

A father is all I ever had. Never knew my mom as she died before I could even walk. As hard as the lessons I learned were, I suspect they were always harder on him. He died three years ago. No brothers, no sisters have I so the world is a lonely place

The world is only as lonely as you let it be; I spent my early years alone, yet I made it (now 63). Alone without father or mother, in the “system” as a foster kid. Made friends were I could and made the best of life.

Turned our all right. 10 years in the military, and 28 years as a police officer. Not bad for being alone.
