*hugs* I'm not sure if people in general really know how to deal with open non-ok in public in general, but even less so when it's a man who's obviously not ok. Our culture says men have to be non-emotional (despite current movements to push you guys the other way - you're *supposed* to be emotional...just not in public apparently).

I'm sorry to hear what's going on with your father. I'm glad, though, that you're able to go on this trip.

I'm so, So sorry that you're having to experience this. I wish I were close enough to hug you and mop your face gently with a much-washed bandana...

Well, I'm hoping that while I'm out there, I might get a chance to say hello. Think that might be arranged?
