Irish Times

Yes, he and I had a rather difficult adolescence. We went to school together through high school and his father was even my Chemistry teacher, but it was not until this year we put our past to rest. It was very lightening (is the only word I can find). You see, my father committed suicide and that was how I found out as well (4 years after the fact). He would admit he was vicious little s*** and my home life was not the best (obviously). I am very glad that today I actually can count him among my friends after being enemies for almost 30 years.
