My step-father has massive tumors throughout lower torso, stomach, colon, esophagus, etc... They are malignant and believed to be lymphatic (biopsy is apparently taking longer than normal). The surgeon, last week, removed most of it but not all. It does not look good. Other than a weak, general concern for what my mother is facing, I have a hard time mustering any feelings. I don't dislike Hugh. I've actually come to think quite well of him.

I sometimes wonder if I am just too apathetic. My apathy is a defense learned early, around the time my father left. If I don't care, nothing can hurt me. It's robbed me of ambition. Now I see it's also killing my emotional attachments.
