hey gang, just came from my dads house. i brought over a bottle of scotch. we started drinking smoking cigars and shooting the breeze. After a few more drinks my dad began sobbing uncontrollably. he informed me for the first time that he had aborted a child after I was born, he said his mom convinced him to do this as it might hamper his chances of leaving Cuba for the U.S. after Castro took over power. He sobbed like a baby asking God to forgive him for not defending this Innocent child. I was rocked by all this as I never knew about this incident. i comforted him and told him things happen for a reason. i tried my best to ease his pain. It was pretty sad to See my dad cry the way he did. I'm sure this was eating him inside for decades. Have anyone of you guys ever been hit with a fast ball u didn't See coming? Man this was one weird afternoon. It's amazing how when you think you know all about your family something like this can rock you out of the blue. I felt real bad for my dad.
