"I become Father?"

I was collecting comic books. The only difference was I stepped into the speculative world hoping that some of these comic books would some how finance my new born son's future. This didn't necessarily mean by actual financial means, but maybe, just maybe, his imagination.

As a young boy, he opted for coins, pennies to be exact. We found most of these in flea markets. He was happy with his purchases and being that his mom and I were not an item I never brought up the comic books I left behind. A short box filled with the newest and hottest comic books of late 91, but mostly early 92. I distinctively remember a Spawn #9 and #10, Gaiman and Sim respectively.

Years ago I made a horrendous mistake in my life during a depressive time. This mistake has cost me so much and at times I am still paying. I owned up to it, I paid for it, but the biggest regret is the current situation I am in now. Even though my son is turning 21 and I am so very proud of him, we haven't talked in almost four years. I hope one day that length of time will end.

But until then, I do hope that he reads those comic books and... One day might forgive me of my sins. I love him. I will always love him and I will always be proud of him.

Thanks for reading
