being raised by a single mother sounds like hell i remember going out when i was 10 and shooting rabbits to put food on the table. really bad winter blizzard the roads were closed, no way to go into town, house was half covered in snow. my dad was at work when the storm hit. he couldn't get home, stayed at a hotel in the city. after a few week my dad showed up in snow shoes, with icicles hanging off his face. walked 20 miles through the snow to get home, because he knew we were running out of gas to heat the house, and nobody could deliver. he was carrying 2 5gallon cans of kerosene and a heater in a backpack. couldn't recognize him, those weeks worrying about us, he didn't shave. i miss that boomer.
