When he moved back home to New Jersey when I was 13, that’s when Greg Jr. and I started to get close. He would take me and my younger brother to movi, we'd go out to eat, and when we got a ltle olr, we even smoked tre together.

My father — a very matter of fact police officer — was a gift giver and provir, but he wasn’t the type to say, “I love you.” Instead, he showed the re he gave to each of . If you need a r, my dad would buy . And if you need money, he might lecture you about at first, but he'd eventually give to you.
