"Kids are kind of amazing at that. The bounce back from almost anything so long as they have someone who loves them. Henry's pretty lucky in that regard I guess. He's got more family around than most of us do here in Darrow. I'm a little jealous" And there it is again, that pain at not being able to spend today with Dad. God, I wish it would just go away instead of ambushing me at every turn, but I know it won't. That's not the nature of pain. But I can soldier on, do what I always do and stuff it down until I can feel it later, after Aggie's asleep in a turkey coma.
