If you knew you absolutely couldn't fail--that you were guaranteed success--

What would you do?

It's easier to only worry than to find out the truth and have that... shatter you.

[It's said in quiet understanding. To find out that you aren't wanted by the people that you love isn't-- It's terrifying even if he has hope for her.]

It's okay to be scared. I think I've learned that. Wish I could give you advice on how to face that fear, but-- I hope when you do find that courage, and I'm certain you will-- I hope they know how good it'd be for all of you to be family again.

Thank you. That means a lot to me. I hope I find that strength too.

You're very welcome. [Someone believed in him in the past when he didn't and couldn't believe in himself, and it made all the difference.]

Did you ever have to find that kind of strength?

[eluding]

Multiple times, I think. I'm not... always successful at it, I'm afraid. Once I wasn't successful again and again, and then it was too late. [His mother died before he could make anything right with her, and he never forgets that. It stays and weighs on him.]

I'm sorry you went through that.

[eluding]

Me too. Mostly I'm... sorry and hate that I never had the courage to say what I needed to say. I'm sorry things broken between you and your family too.
