Fabian took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. He wanted to tell Rueben to go but he knew what the man was saying made sense, he just had no idea how hard it was to see everyone else able to lead a normal life and know the best you had to look forward to was a day out of bed.
"I'm sorry, Rueben. I know I shouldn't say such things about my mother. I do love her really, I just wish Uncle would understand I'm not her. I'm not about to leave him nor shame our family."
