For my Stepfather

There comes a time-

Between yours and mine

When we reach for all the branches

When your limb was missed

Throughout fates dreary kiss

Nobody grew quite frantic

For you’re a father

Without all the bother

Who took nothing quite for granted

And now a card, without a guard

To show your care has landed

For my Grandmother

J.D Mullenary Sr., a.k.a. AbnormalVAverage, is a teacher and Esports coach based in Texas. He grew up on the beach in California, enjoying its temperate climate and boundless enthusiasm for life. After completing his first degree at nineteen, he felt that he needed to grow up and discover new experiences. With that in mind, he joined the military, earning a second degree in the process, and served for four years. After receiving his honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, helped raise his two sons, and returned to college with a focus on English and teaching. Now, he spends his time writing when he can, teaching students and Esports players the values of critical thinking, while still fostering all of the strays his wife brings to their home.
