Dawn Is Me

I only wish I could.

Gino’s depressed.

No, I mean he’s really depressed. As in, clinically depressed and probably in need of medication.

We have no money right now, so it’s going to be difficult to get him the help he needs. My job is to do what I can to help him hold on so he doesn’t go suicidal on me. That would be bad. I wouldn’t like that at all.

Never mind how I found this out. Suffice it to say this was the professional opinion of … well … a professional.

About all I’ve managed to do with this information is to realize that Gino really is out of commission and to sort of get myself organized to run the family for awhile. And that’s okay, I don’t mind. If giving him a bit of breathing space is the best I can do for him under the circumstances, I’m perfectly willing to do what I can.

But I’ll be really glad when he’s back. I miss him.
