1970

Evening
This is my life. I have spent the last 30 years living with a ghost. He was with me every day, we talked and laughed. He gave me advise and listened to me when no one else would. He was a real person that lost his life in a foolish stupid accident. I loved him, he was the first person to love me, take my faults and let them go.
He taught me how to be a man. How to fight and how to love. To accept responsibility for myself and my actions. How to let go of fear and move past it. He showed me how to experience new things..I was a country boy from way out in the woods. How to drive a standard and how to look people in the eye when I shook their hand. How to look at my anger as just another emotion that I could learn to control.
I am not sure how long I will keep this going. I am finally letting go of him. You will, if you follow this for any length of time, find out what makes me tick. What makes me a good friend and a bad enemy. How sounds and songs trigger memories and how books saved my life.
Coming into the holidays as we are now this might not be the best time to do this , but, WTF....I am alone in this big old house..just me and a bottle of Jack and Tom Rush on the cd player.
Let the story begin................................
