To Those in the Know

Apparently my father has pancreatic cancer. Mums just rang from the hospital. He called her. I don't understand why, but maybe it was just because he's alone and she's too wonderful to leave him there with no one. Either way...I can't go see him. And even if I could, I don't know if I would. Mums said we didn't have to. But that's why he wanted to see us. He admitted that he wanted to see Joe, Abby, Adam and Ellie because he was dying and dying has a way of making people realise their mistakes. Not that he admitted them.

He's dying and I'm alive again. And it's weird.

Oh my. Pancreatic cancer, that's terrible. How is Mums doing? Is she going to be coming home? I'd like to set something up for her if she is. Flowers, cookies, that sort of thing. Despite everything Bernard has - or hasn't - done, this can't be easy.

And how are you doing, Thomas? I know he's hardly a wonder of the world, but he's your father. Having lost my mother recently... I can certainly understand where you're coming from, if you want to talk, or anything really...

Oh Thomas, I'm so sorry. I don't... really think much of anything of Bernard, but at a time like this... I know people see things differently. If there's anything I can do for any of you, I'm here. Always.

Aw, fuck... that's horrible. I'm sorry to hear it, man. I guess, whatever improvements he can make in the time he has left, that's a good thing. Maybe he will admit his mistakes to Lavinia. We can hope, yeah? Might be the time for him to understand. Late, fucking late, but at least not never.

Man... I totally get the feeling weird thing. You're always welcome here, if there's any help we can give.
