Thought

While on Inis Oirr, I was talking to Garth and randomly he said: "Being given this scholarship, coming over here, your dad must be so proud of you." I brushed it off saying "Oh he's too busy with other things" or something of the ilk to which Garth responded "Well, he should be" (as in, he should be proud). I changed the subject because I was afraid if we stayed on it, I'd start to cry. It fair broke my heart thinking that I was asked to come here, not just awarded the scholarship but handpicked for it, am living in a foreign country and doing so competently, and not once has Dad said he's proud. Not once.
