Decision Day Have you ever loved someone so much, that you would lose an organ for that person? Cared for another human being that you would do anything to keep them safe?

After a week had passed since my step daddy’s arrest, he and I still hadn’t found any meaningful work yet. And instead of looking for work like I had done every day so far, my step daddy just spent most of his day on the couch drinking beers purchased with what little money we had left in savings. Money which I’m sure was already earmarked for keeping the lights on or the water flowing. As he self-loathed while getting drunk, he would sulk to anyone who would lend him a sympathetic ear and…
