this afternoon i heard my father cry for i think the third time ever. i called to check in and he told me that a family friend who was battling cancer passed away today. it was so strange to hear his voice break, and to know how unemotional he usually is. it was as though we had switched roles. i was calm and level. i don't know if that comes from not being as close to tom as my father was, or feeling as though i should to be the strong one when my dad needed the support. i'm not to used to being the tearless one, but i hope i was good to my father and gave him whatever he needed from me.
