When I returned, mom told me Tom had pancreatic cancer. They gave him two months to live because of the advanced stage it was in. Surgery wasn't an op...ion; they discharged him with several medications.I stopped by to see him and Marci. It was so odd since he seemed to be fine when you looked at him. But as he explained it, his insides weren't."Have you thought about trying to fight it?" I asked."Barry, the odds are about five percent I would make it through all the surgeries. I'm not about to. "You know that Megan and I are involved in a sexual relationship, I want that to continue and although I haven't asked her, I think that she feels the same way." Oh Linda, of course I want that." I know you are having an incestuous family relationship; please believe me, your secret is also my secret. I wish that had been blessed with Megan's forthright and pragmatic attitude to life because if I had, then my daughter might never have left home.This next part is about my situation. I want you. Yeah old buddy, Gary said, she wouldnt let me come without her. Right now shes with Amber trying to calm her down. Ambers pretty upset, pal. That woman still has a deep seeded love for you my friend, its obvious she loves you just as much now as she ever did, thats for sure. Bill smiled and nodded his head. I know, he said, shes been here the whole time. I told you the last time you were in L.A. that you were working too hard there old buddy, maybe now youll listen to me. Still with a smile on. “We’re here, lady, Marco’s Circus,” the smiling driver announced, adding, “You look gorgeous, by the way.” She was beaming as she gave him his fare, plus a generous tip. As she stepped out of the cab, she felt a million dollars and she made her way across the soft grass, towards the gate. It felt strange to be on her own, going to see a show. Still, she was relieved that she wasn’t with Bob, what a lying dick he had turned out to be! She shook her head as she remembered his face, all crumpled.
