Before he was old enough to be a pedophile
Before she hit me and I hit her back
Before her fraud conviction and that year on house arrest
Before you tried to steal that $1 K from me and I filed a small claim against you
Before he went to college (or further than that);
Before he discovered sex and thought he was a man and started being a douche bag
Before I sold the car Uncle Ron gave me so I could move to NY and shop at American Apparel
Before you had that baby
Before she had hers
Before you knew you were gay and started dating girls
Before their parents got divorced (and before they got married)
Before Grandma and Aunt Kay died
Before Uncle Jimmy got sick
Before those growing pains and peer pressures of youth
Before we knew what weed was and the power of ass and pussy
Before we even said a word...
Life was good.

Brilliant work. The sincerity in the tone of this piece, coupled with the nostalgic element of it gripped me. Continue conveying your thoughts as exact and as honest as you did with this effort..you'll make a lifetime reader out of me and many others as well. Again, brilliant work. - James King
