but on the other, what about his relationship with Sam? Because Sam was so much on the outside, there, and in a way I wonder whether he was ever a real person to John at all?
God, yes, exactly. Now you're going to make me cry for real.
I said to Lum, I think John couldn't touch Sam, because John had found grace and Sam had been cast out. But I still hate it. And I think it has to be so hard for Sam to face the idea that his dad was okay with the idea that Sam might have to be euthanized. What we saw last night didn't heal me in that regard, and now I'm angry that John will never have a chance to make amends for that.
Ugh. I may have to watch their hug in Shadow about 50 times now.
