The thing is, doctor. Yes, I still see my wife and my son. I’ve also watched both of them lowered into the ground. And when you see a loved one buried, you have one thought over and over and over again, and that’s that you would do anything—anything to get them back. So, if you’re telling me that the price of seeing them, feeling them, of having them in my life is my sanity, that’s a price I will happily pay. Now, I’ll come and see you and talk to you as long as they make me, but trust me, when it comes to letting one of them go…I have no desire to ever make progress.
