Oh man, this is so sad. Papa started losing his eye sight and hit a girl while he was driving somewhere, and he killed her. After that, he couldn't drive anymore so other people had to take him around, including Ruth. Ruth was too self-centered [[by her own admission) via coke to have patience with him, when all he wanted to do was spend time with her. She writes "I'm so sorry, Daddy. I'd give anything to have another day with you." Now that is heart-wrenching. Especially since all the girls adored him prior to drugs taking over their lives. I'd love to give her a hug. We all mess up.
