regret ; was something that filled his heart like water filled the lungs of a dying person who was gasping at their last hope the second that he laid eyes on his sorrow filled son. he’d spent so much time, attempting recovery, in therapy, trying to become a man who could father a son too old to even need him. now looking for what? forgiveness?? acceptance?? at the back ; far out of view at his own mothers funeral, watching from the back with tears burning his eyes, he forced himself to blink it back as he lowered his head, moving through the few guests who had attended to his son. words, something he’d had quite the trouble with, failed him for all new reasons ; but eventually they come to him ‘ neville?? ‘.
