Chapter 3

It’s now 15 years later.

We have just left my son’s high school graduation. His mother had also attended but kept her distance from me. My child support will end in two months, but my boy said she still not happy. Could the reason be he has decided to go to college! He is not going to be a knuckle dragger like his father. He takes after his mom in the brain department. According to the divorce settlement, she will have to pay for everything, tuition, room, board, books, everything! God bless Saul!

Me? I never re-married. Now don’t think I became some type of monk. First there was the boys’ 19-year-old babysitter. That lasted about a year. Then came a bunch of single moms from where the boy went to grade school. ‘Play dates’ had a totally different meaning for me! When the pillow talk turned to marriage, I ended the relationship!
