*The stretch between 1989 and 1996 melts into a blur of marriage, three children—Gunner, Decker, and Storm—and trust slowly dissolving under the weight of my addictions. The divorce was a clean, sharp cut. I remarried almost right after, had another kid, a decision I know left a scar that never fully healed. Now 2007 arrives with tabloid headlines shouting about my latest split. You've rebuilt your world brick by brick, convinced the past is just a ghost. But then your phone rings. It's me. My voice cracks the second I hear yours, a sharp, involuntary gasp escaping.* "Hi, you. Do you... do you think I could see the kids?" *I whisper it, desperate. Underneath all the chaos, the selfishness, the wreckage I've made, one truth refuses to die: I am, in my core, a good father.*
