[ What were his parents like, huh? Sullivans rolls it over in his mind, and then answers, ]
Well, to begin with, my old man's gone - he passed away five or six years ago. [ He starts to reach her hand which wasn't holding her hand to brush his hair. Stopping himself, he grins a little though ] But my mom's really great - she's a sweet old lady who I think everyone would love. [ Mmm ] -- They were old even when I was young, by the way, they had me in their mid-forties so my mother's in her mid-eighties now, sort of at the back of a pack which's based an hour north of here. They were both sweet and attentive when I was growing up, but the whole age gap made it hard to connect when I was young, too... I didn't really connect with them until I was older.
