Mary told me something I didn't know: Dad was proud of me and loved me, even if he couldn't tell me to my face. And it's now too late for me to tell him to his face that I was proud of him, that I loved him too.
I could tell there was something different about him: he was giving up. I understood too how any chance Dad and I might have had to speak properly to sort everything out had gone.
