Clod that thought thought did cross my mind. For one thing, he probably doesn't have many years left to him and he knows that. He's been in intensive care four times in the last two years and the last time was really close. I think my dad's worst nightmare would be the knowledge that after he dies we might go into his house and see the state of the place...not to mention be able to piece him together like a jigsaw from all that stuff. He's always kept the largest part of himself and his life a mystery to us, just the way he is. I love him, but I wouldn't say I know him.

Blue that's exactly my hope. End of the day his health is more important to me than anything that burned in the house. More important even than knowing I won't ever be able to get past the mask and know who he is underneath it now.
