Too Bad Too bad... Words I will never hear. Too bad Dad’s... We, you and me, we who write. Too bad Dad’s not... Yes, possibly some do write for themselves. However... Too bad Dad’s not here... We who write, at least me, I write so others may see what I see, may feel what I feel. Too bad Dad’s not here to... Words I fear for I want to see my "Climbing Boy" ablaze in living color. I want to see Mitchell love and lose and “Become” a man. Too bad Dad’s not here to see... I want to hear the words I’ve written spoken aloud, and heard. I want to see the scenes I’ve seen in my mind ablaze in living color so others will see what I see, so others will feel my written passion. So others will be immersed within what I’ve created. Words I will never hear. Words I fear... “Too bad Dad’s not here to see this!” Because, damn-it! I want to be here when what I’ve created, when the words, when the people, when the scenes I’ve created are emblazoned in living color. “Too bad Dad’s not here to see this!” Words I do not want said because, damn-it! I do want to be here to see it!

Fathers and sons, wishes and facts, and that eternally nagging "what if..." that gives "too bad..." a smaller dimension, because we couldn't do nothing to steer any "too bad..." out of our control, but we could had done something to avoid "what if..."
Perhaps reading your book "Becoming" will give a few answers to a lot of questions.
