To Those in the Know

James hasn't stopped crying since Saturday and I don't know what to do...

I don't know that there's any easy solution. I think we're just going to have to take our time with this, and look after him as best we can.

I'm so sorry this is happening.

I just...I feel guilty because I'm leaving you to take care of it. He's my son and I...

Fuck, I don't want to go.

Thomas, it's okay. I'll be able to visit you when you're gone. It's not the same as having you here, but it's important that you help James cope while you can. I don't resent it in the slightest, I promise.

I know you don't want to go. I never thought for a moment you did. I know with all my heart, that if the situation were tenable for you to stay with us, you would in a heartbeat.

[suave_thomas]

I'm scared.

[in_spectre_mors]

I am too. But we'll get through this together, even though you'll be far away at times.

I'm scared I will have forgotten how to be there. I won't be able to touch you...goddammit.

[in_spectre_mors]

I know. It's going to be so damned hard. I'm grateful that you'll have Mary with you, though. I know she won't let any negativity touch you that can possibly be avoided.

[suave_thomas]

My Mary is always good at that.
