Burt and Carole sat in the cafeteria, each of them nursing a cup of cold decaf coffee.
“This isn’t fair,” Burt said quietly.
“I know,” Carole replied.
“He shouldn’t have to deal with all this,” Burt said.
“I know,” Carole replied.
“I mean, he’s a kid, he shouldn’t have to deal with any of this,” Burt continued, “He already beat this once, why does he have to go through it again?”
‘But Burt, you just said it,” Carole said, leaning forward and taking her husband’s hand, “He already beat this once, and he will beat this again.”
“How do you know?” Burt asked hopelessly.
“Because I know Kurt, and you know him ever better, much better actually,” Carole said reassuringly, “Kurt is a fighter; he doesn’t let anyone or anything stand in his way. Just like his father.” Burt smiled slightly and nodded.
“You’re right,” he said, “I just wish he didn’t have to do this again. He’s a good kid and I just wish I could take it all away, make him stop hurting like I could when he was a little boy.”
“I know,” Carole said, “But we’ll get through this. As a family.”
