Mike is MG’s second self. He is just like her. She stands out in my memory because she was a strong woman. But Alicia stands out too. She was a beautiful woman, everything our mother was not. She knew I was suffering and she took me under her wing. Mike came around and blamed his father and not us, but I like Chris blamed mom for refusing to allow us to have a relationship. I respected Mike right away like I’ve never respected another but Sir Paul. He screamed MAN and he isn’t even that big. But he is a Man in every way to me. Strong, Brave, and fearless. Meeting all of them changed my life for the better. Never witnessed domestic violence personally but knew people did. Never witnessed any violent act other than a brawl at a night club.
I, like Chris, married a nightmare that was my mother but finding our faith saved my life again and these are two of the moments in my memory that changed the course of my life.
