- this here is just a conversation that i had with a friend. it's a true story. My dad went through a lot, and i just thought it was something personal that i would add to my page. you don't have to rate or comment if you don't want too. It's just that, this site makes me feel safe with my personal information.. and if you ever need anybody to talk too, I'm always around.
