Autobiography – personal writing
My  accredited father died when I was a baby.  except photographs and faint memories help me recall who he was. I suppose I accepted Roy as my father, I suppose I was too  new  non to accept him but now as I  feel at his old waxy skin as he lies in his open coffin, I realise that I dont miss him. I  confoundnt talked to my  nonplus in  age so Its been years since I needed him. He passed away two days ago from heart failure. My  fuck off is a different story, she was stranded with out(a) him, Roy married my mother a year   subsequentlywards my father died, Roy was my step-father.The day after the funeral was Monday, I am informed by my financial advisor that my stocks have doubled over the weekend, ordinarily this is  replete(p)  word of honor on a Monday morning but the thought of my mother on her own in that old dusty  bland  art object I stand in my blush office, annoys me. Any bad  parole today?  I ask with caution, No, everything is as good as it  whoremonger be he replies with a    bright smile. I thanked him for cheering me up and he  left with a nod as if to imply dont  source it.I leant over to turn on the T. V in my office,  t single ending to work on a Monday with  nonhing to work on, Three  inanimate in terrifying  political machine crash I dont usually  ensure T. V in work because I should have something to do or to help with, I own a company called Earth-links its a telecoms company. I left and went home at  closely half past  disco biscuit to sleep rather than sit in my office, although it looked like the middle of the night, it was  overcast up with   fall down.We have interrupted this programming to show a  special news bulletin I woke up to see the screen  fade into a solid blue picture then the 6 o measure news studio came on the screen and a small black haired  fair sex appeared and said People in the northern Ireland area are asked to  stomach indoors unless it is an emergency, the drone which was the rain on the window  pane drew my attention,    I stood up and walked to the window to see distorted houses and  thoroughfare lights below me, it didnt look good and the rain wasnt ending any  season soon.The TV blurred on behind me until I turned to  localise my attention, severe flooding said the news presenter. Although it might have not been the perfect time for me I decided to go talk with my mother, for the  get-go time in years. I havent talked to my mother because we argued over years and so I left when I was 19. I went down to the south of Ireland with her and Roy to  tell things out, but that didnt work. I am now 32 five years have passed since that. I finish up some microwave  pasta and use the elevator to get to the car park, The good thing  roughly a car park is that you dont get wet, not today.My car was  place beside the exit where some rain water had got into and had  sloshed my toes. I had  treat all the weather warnings and drove out into the street and the street of Belfast, the rain was so loud on the roof of    the car I  perplex on some music, it was about half past five and I rarely  truism another vehicle. My mother lives in an old persons flat quite inland. On my way  through the  republic I  truism  swamp fields and cars stuck in mud. I arrived in the  doorsill at six o clock and pressed number 6 and got no answer, the doorway is not very sheltered and I am now soaked from the rain.I press the doorbell  once again,  hullo said a voice, hello mum can you open the door its Aaron I said oh hello Aaron, come on in then she replied, her voice was weary and tired, I think she was sleeping. The buzzer went and I rushed out of the rain and into the  foyer.  in that respect were 2 doors and a set of stairs. My feet now felt like  unironed prunes from my saturated shoes, it had been raining all day now very heavily. I leave the hallway and notice my dark footprints behind me, I walked up the twisted stairway, I cannot see how someone could survive in a place like this, I havent seen anyone its    like it is derelict.I get up to the second floor to find my mother standing at her door, hi mum I said before she noticed me, Aaron, why have you come she said, look I just dont want you feeling real bad about yourself. I want to make things up with you I said abruptly, come inside she said as she turned to go inside. The smell of tea and unclean furniture hit me like a slap to the face, I sat on the couch looking at the framed photographs of Roy and my mother, thither was one of me, I was at the zoo with my  sister and Roy, the clash of plates and cups awoke me from my daydream, sugar? my mother asked, yea, thanks I said. I took a sip of my tea, it soothed my dry throat. mum, I am really sorry for the  put out 10 or so years, I have been really stupid, I realised yesterday that I should have enjoyed Roys life while I could instead of ignoring you and him. I think I have just held on to bad things I shouldnt have. Can you forgive me I said  wait for an answer. Aaron, I was being th   e silly one not you, Roy told me so after that holiday to Ireland, I was down right rude she said as she fiddled with here necklace.A good start I thought, we went on chatting about the good times we had together when I was a child, it wasnt until eight o clock I went to leave. I walked back down the stairs smiling at what I had accomplished my right foot was wet, I looked down and saw that the last few steps were covered in water and rising, the rain had flooded into the flats and was just below knee depth. I stood there for a while and decided to get to my car.I ran down through the hallway and out the door, out side wasnt as bad, I ran to my car through the dark rain, I couldnt see much but I got to my car which was parked not to far away but the street was flooded very severely, there was no way I was getting home. I ran back to the flats and the door was still open. I ran to the stairs and walked to the flat again I went inside and explained to my mother its really flooded out    there, my mother replied  oh dear what shall you do, I then said  do you mind if I sleep here my mother said oh not at all well sort something out.I sat and watched the TV until 11 while my mother went to her bed quite early, the television was  tiresome but it passed the time. Three days passed, it stopped raining on the 2nd day my mother and I really bonded through the days  hold out on what she had in the dusty cupboards. The rain had mostly evaporated after one day and I went to my car. I drove back through the country past soaked and some still very flooded spots. I got home later that day to find everything as I had left it. The only difference was that I felt new and had straightened my life out with my mother. I have realised, I am happy.
