After I vistted dad last night I ended up leaving at about midnight and went to Mark's and lost about 12 hours in an attempt to keep my mind off of dad and now I'm tired as fuck but I was able to drive to the hospital on about 4 hours of fitful sleep and here I am visiting everyone.
Dad's friend Magid came to visit a little while ago and freaked out and had to leave the room after only a few minutes, which seems to be a normal reaction for all these guys. I remarked sometime last night that dad's in his hospital bed and there's a slew of grown men who come in and crowd around him and take turns kissing him on the forehead and sitting in the arm chair next to dad's bed, weepily holding his hand while mom stands by watching in what I imagine to be a mix of appreciation and exasperation. I said to Mark - and forgive my lack of eloquence and tact - "This is so gay - did dad fuck all these guys?"
dad,
arabs,
sickness
