I'll get your car back on the road. It's not a heavy lift for me.
I remember when your folks brought you home from the hospital 22 years ago. Everybody had to hand me the baby bundle to see the look of horror on my face.
Men like me don't have families for a reason. I like grown ups.

That's me @0:49 in black (minus the hat), just out of harm's way.

My 5 year older sister wanted to be an only child. She hated me. My 2 year younger sister was a severely and profoundly retarded and handicapped Down's Syndrome child, she taught me, and my father compassion and shame.
Hayley's folks took care of her after my mother had a heart attack in 2014 until me and Teri (my now ex-wife) could get her into a government Medicaid waiver home where she had the 24/7 care she needed.
I have four women in my life right now. Dr. Kimmy who's loved me for about 45 years that needs a man, Sling Blade's 13 y/o Squirt that needs a fair shake in life for a change, Hayley's mother that has last stage cancer, and Hayley, that doesn't know that the bad shit in life is about to pour down all over her like molten metal.
I try to be a nice guy. Maybe I'd do better if I grew up, but I'd die.

We talked about being 12 y/o grown ups on the phone the other night.
If I ever get serious, I'm a goner, brutha. Keep me young.
