'You think men shouldn't cry? This man lost his wife and son-in-law the same night. I think you should cut him some slacks here.' I felt anger again and I was void of any calmness.
'I don't think men shouldn't cry, Kassy. I just think your dad has prioritized you and your sister's feelings over his. He knows crying with you guys won't help anybody, so he's decided to do his in private. I think that's very strong of him.'
George made a lot of sense, and I made a mental note to check in on dad. I needed to know how he was doing too.
Dad returned hours later with the Thai food but couldn't even have the meal with George and me because he had some place he needed to be. George was a darling and decided to spend the night with me. At the very least, it was reassuring that he was there. At least, he did not leave my side.
