Father came home today, donning blue-purple rims under his eyes, marking the days of lost sleep do to his work. He came to visit me, sick and weak, a bed-ridden burden. He told me everything was going to be all right, that I would make it. This was something I could kick right in the rear, send it flying out the window like stool water. But I don't believe him. I'm dying. I have accepted the facts; I am afraid my family has not yet seen the univentable truth. May God have mercy on their soals.
