Cipriani: Take Two

Welcome back to 1 Petal Parkway. I am not sure if I shared with you last time as I was caught up in the death of my wife, but this our home. And again it is me, Lucien Cipriani. When I left off last time, I was just getting into the downward spiral I was on after Polly died. Things had gotten pretty bad. But I was trying with everything I had to turn over a new leaf.



Instead of spending every night after work at the bar, I actually came home and made dinner for Ben and Nolan. At first we didn't talk much. It was hard for me to find the right things to say, as I am sure it was for them. But when I finally spoke, all I could say was "I am so sorry...for everything, and I love you. Both of you." the boys remanined silent that night, but it was what I deserved.



I had wasted so much time. Sure, I had been working stedily in the Political Career track, but I had not been putting much effort into it. When I finally took the initiative, I rose through the ranks quickly and was soon promoted to a city office. It felt good to do the right thing. Really good.

But I could not say that things in my personal life was going very well. I opened myself up to the unknown, I tried dating. And though I gave them all of me, it may have been too much and I was discouraged again and again. Turned down by woman after woman. And though it was devistating, I was not going to let myself go back down the path of self distruction.







Before long, I had decided to give the dating thing a rest (a guy can only have dates backfire so many times before he becomes gun shy). It was time for Ben to go off to college, and for my youngest son Nolan to become a teenager.

I was just glad that I had not missed this important time in their lives. Seeing Ben off to Academie Le Bloom was one of the proudest moments I have ever experienced. And to think, I had almost let it all slip away with a shuffle of the cards. Things were looking up for me, but I was still alone, and soon Nolan would be off to college and I would be alone in our house.



With Ben gone, things were quiet. I looked forward to our successes as a family. It was times like this that I missed Polly the most. She would have been so proud of our son, but I was proud enough for both of us.
