Array ( [sid] => 74403 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => JOE ( MY SON ) [time] => 2004-12-04 16:31:09 [hometext] => For my step son joe I miss him :( [bodytext] => I miss him.
I raised him.
He is my child.

Not by blood.
But by life.

I knew him since he was
twelve.
When me and the ----- his
mom got together.
His name is Joe, Joseph.
A great American boy
six foot four.
As big as you or well not me
with a attitude to boot.
In and out of jail since he
was a youth.

I was more of a friend than
a step dad.
I loved him more than I did
his mom.
I watch him grow from a
child into a man.

His mom was never there
for him.
She was a drunk and a
druggie a cold hearted
Fein.
No wonder he had such
trouble growing up.
No one was there but me.

He could have been worst,
But he turned out OK.
I haven't seen him since
march.
He don't even know where
I'm at.

It hurt's.

He the only thing I miss beside
my grand-kids.
I'm still grandpa even though
I'm not with her.
I'll always be grandpa.
.

(This is to you Joe,
I miss you my son,
I hope and pray your
doing well,
I'll be back someday.
SOMEDAY)

I LOVE YOU MAN
Take care of yourself.
LOVE,
DENNIS
