The stuff in GREEN is direct quotes from NEWS articles. At the time of the piece the articles I quoted only had a statement from him. How is this a disgrace to Andrew's memory? I am arguing that he was mistreated by the police and that if things went as they should have he would have been alive. The quote by his father was put up not knowing the back story or the family history. had I known that and still gave that man voice then it would have been a disgrace to his memory. there was no way of knowing- at the time of this piece, that Mike was all you said. the only reference to his father is the direct quote from the Miami News Herald.CHUCKY BAERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651806408984985352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489574450885807076.post-78046631199848871562011-05-15T08:01:55.862-07:002011-05-15T08:01:55.862-07:00This is Andrew's Mom, I haven't commented ...This is Andrew's Mom, I haven't commented on your site as I have been very hurt by what you blogged about Andrew's biological father. (or as Andrew referred to him as Sperm Donor) You see Mike had nothing to do with Andrew for the last 12 years of his life, he basically told him he didn't want anyone to know he was his father so not to call him. Your blog about Mike is a disgrace to Andrew's Memory.The only reason Mike said that is because he is hoping for money. Mike didn't come to the funeral nor did he help with any of the cost, this has hurt Andrew's sister in the worst way.I am now going to place a poem Andrew had written when he was 14.....<br />Empty Beer Bottles<br />The smell on the tip of his tongue<br />my life was yet so young<br />My baby sister's piercing cries still sting,<br />as my father would destroy everything.<br />His speech was full of slurs,<br />and he'd hit my mother and vigorously curse.<br />His heart was as empty as the brown bottles,<br />and cold as a sculptured ice model.<br />My memories of him are in my mind and set.<br />Its a mistake I will never forget.<br />He barely will call or write,<br />only because we usually end up in a fight.<br />The bottles bring back old times,<br />And his abusive and violent crimes.<br />written by Andrew Michael Grande<br /><br />So you see Mike was not a good role model at all, I finally got the courage to leave him after 15 years of abuse and with the help and Love and encouragement of Andrew.<br />I miss my Son and Loved him unconditionally...May he rest in peace.
