It ain't that. It's not that folks want or need to much, that's me saying it wrong. It's that I got old stuff that's coming up a lot recent, and it's making it harder for me to focus on the folks I care bout helping, and when I don't help others I feel real awful inside. And, course, only when Leena's ready.
I reckon you might try? It's real simple: Sometimes we're scared of what folks are going to tell us, but that's our own fears talking and not necessarily what they feel. You give him a chance, and you have the conversation with him. He cares bout you. He ain't going to be cruel. If he is, I'll come and give him a piece of my mind.
