I was a bit shocked by the whole thing, or disturbed anyway. It is like the arc of other people's lives dissecting your own. The kids weren't pleased to have him around, wanted him gone, particularly now he has lost his teeth in one great humiliation, and appears to them enormously, frighteningly eccentric. He said he was dying and he looked like it. I prodded him awake a couple of times because I thought he had stopped breathing.
