He took me in right away and has treated me like I am his own flesh and blood (he has two sons of his own from a previous marriage). I grew up well‚ traveling all over the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii)

They just say that it’s their money‚ they earned it‚ and they can do whatever they want with it. Which is true‚ but they just party their money away in a glance‚ and there is no use in that.
