Someone will get nosy sooner or later about us being related: any ideas to explain because I may have an option.
You were with my mom on and off for a few years (actually true) and after she met Robert it was a decent split all things considered. Lost touch for a bit but after she passed a couple of years ago you decided it was time to find me?
Its true while leaving out the bad parts of our past. Our world is one thing but our garbage is being faced, no need for that to be common info.
I do think that would be wise Thea. The truth will out sooner than later
and I'd rather control when it comes out then have someone slip and it
becomes a scandal. And I think your version of the backstory would work
well enough.
We're just taking back control, a powerful thing at the moment.
And since you'll ask how I'm holding up: let's call it a work in progress? I'm still having bad days but I'm holding up, hardest part right now is being able to enjoy my own company again. And honestly I'm missing the affection.
You can always ask for a hug from your father you know. You aren't the only
one feeling lonely. The anniversary of Tommy's death is coming up and I
could use some comfort myself.
[Another tough day in a series of them, Tommy's death left its mark on Thea as well.]
And with the anniversary of mom's passing hot on its heels. We'll face the dark together since I learned the hard way: being alone on a painful day a couple of years ago would have sent me to the liquor cabinet.
Dinner on both anniversaries? And I'm ducking away from the security tent with that hug, its quiet at the moment.
5/1

That sounds like a good idea. it's important to remember those we lost even among alien concerts and parasites.
