Larry Hussey - My alcohol-abusing Dad said 'I love you.'

2014-11-10 7 Dailymotion

After thinking about it,
my dad said 'I love you.'
In my mind, the words formed
red and white wine-colored icicles
down his chin.
The voicemail was made at around one a.m.
so it must have been a new year's resolution
that he wanted to check off right away
so he could show everybody.
