I'm surprised

he's lasted this long.

He's going into oncology

for a CAT scan.

You can probably

see him tomorrow.

Hi.

Does he have a name?

Moose.

Moose.

He's a good

looking horse.

Are you and mom

getting a divorce?

Hey, why would you

ask me that?

Mom's always busy.

You're always working

late or out of town.

This usually indicates the

involvement of a third party.

Um, well,

maybe, maybe I've just

lost track a little bit.

You know what

we're going to do?

You and me?

We're going to build Moose here a

great stable to live in, okay?

How does that sound?

[sighs]

"After five days

of rain,

"the sun

is finally shining.

"George and I had dinner

with Katherine and William,

and baby Charles

last night.

"They gave us

wonderful news.

"I'm going to be

a grandmother again.

"I remember the day

"when Katherine said she

was pregnant with Charles.

"It brought so much

joy to our family.

"We threw all the

calendars out the window.

"Even though

"the time Katherine

last saw Scott

"and started

seeing William,

"it was only the

difference of a few weeks.

"Katherine was my

second son's first love

"and my first

son's true love.

"Charles was born

"nine months

after Scott left.

Our family

never mentions this.

"If you don't say it out loud,

then it's not true."

Hey, sorry, I just got your message.

ls everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

He and the kids are in

the den with Viola.

Okay.

My mom's journals?

She paints our stories

so beautifully.

Makes us all

seem so together.

Yeah.

So, Scott has another

CAT scan tomorrow,

and I had Andy put a call into

the specialist in Houston and--

He sent me

a plane ticket.

It was right after we

said, "I love you"

for the first time.

If was like he knew

or felt' that

I moved on.

I never told you.

Because he was too late.

I was right

where I wanted to be.

I should go check

on the kids.

Hold on a minute.

I miss you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Ana' the tags poking up out of

the back of your dad's jacket.

It was our

first date.

You had me so nervous I

was all discombobulated.

And all I wanted to do was

just be home with you.

You know.

Yeah.

(William) I just

want to be us again.

You know?

I do.

(Charles) "I don't know how

a person is supposed to act

"when someone

they love dies.

"I guess everyone reacts

in different ways.

"I was lucky enough

to know Uncle Scott

"for a grand total

of four days.

"And here's how

I'd sum him up

"in three lines.

"He was a fire

bellied toad

who took a chance and

became a prince for a day."

Say a prayer

For the ones like you J

J Who are simple

and honest and true .5
