My soul is bared

Today I cried.  I cried because now I know that I know myself.  Ever since my third father left me and my mom, I felt like there was this hole in my heart.  The night before he left, he sat me on his knee and told me, "Son (this was salt in the wounds), I want you to know that someday you'll understand.  Your momma and I just don't see eye to eye.  You see she is one of those people that thinks it's okay for a woman to wear pants and work in the office alongside the men, and you see I just don't agree with that.".  And with that he left.  He walked away and I never heard from him again.  And ever since that moment, I've felt so alone, so desperate, so angry.  Until today when I was standing in line to buy a vente raspberry mocha latte half caf and the gentlemen in front of me asked me if I had an extra quarter I could spare him for his coffee--and then suddenly I knew!  I knew that if this gentlemen needed me then my father needed me too.  Wherever he was-out there.  And that when I sat my son down on my knee and told him I was leaving---

Wait.

This is what I am supposed to be writing about, right?
