Not much has changed since my last entry, has it? Gino is still bumming off Liam, although I heard that Liam's dating that girl from the car parts shop. Perhaps the days of the bachelor roommates are coming to a close...?
Gino called me today to say "Happy Father's Day." It was a brief call, but it meant a lot to me. We still aren't talking much, though I can't blame him. After everything we've been through, what I've put him through, I can't imagine that he'd have much to say. He gave me little updates on his life, expressed concern that he'd never find a girlfriend. I gave him the old "You're a Gambino, you can have anyone you want if you put your mind to it!" speech. It seemed to cheer him up. He had prior plans so our conversation couldn't get much deeper than that, but he said he had some things he wanted to talk to me about and would call later. Communication. He and I have never been strong at it, but perhaps it's time for a new beginning?
With hope, and a little anticipation, Happy Father's Day.
