It's alright. You can tell me.

True but that realisation won't come to them for another ten years give or take.

[Perhaps never when it came to their mother's husband. He'd removed them from his life and the Deck after Ashley died but they hadn't been young enough to forget the man they called 'daddy' before they learnt to call different men 'dad'.]

I don't visit them at all. They come to me guided by some misplaced sense of filial duty I suppose. According to them, I work too hard and the reason why I work so hard is because I haven't come to terms with 'The Tragedy' that struck this family. They weren't even there when their uncles perished.

It's very sweet actually, that kind of innocence.
