Chapter 6:Coming a Long Way & Still a Long Way to Go!
This was from the perspective and the words of the physchologist Nancy, on her take of Geoff and Silvy. This story was as she evaluated them:
Having supervised Silvy and Geoff since their time in San Francisco and looking at them. I(Nancy) say that both have come a long way. But feel that they both have a long way to go. Knowing that the hardships that they have faced.
Silvy like Geoff was and is right. She is a nine-year old in a body of someone that is like in her early to mid twenties. Very smart but also has a heart of gold. That you would never see in any child, that I have seen in my years has a pyschologist.
She has Geoff's wit, charm, and taking life seriously. But not taking yourself seriously. And by the looks at which she describes her parents that she still loves and adores. And misses to this day. As she has a heart necklace Geoff gave to her. To frame a picture of them. Knowing that they are in her heart and life. If not physically, there in spirits.
Because she knows Geoff loves his children but in, my humble opinion(Nancy's). Geoff really loves and adores his soon to be new daughter. She has given him a whole new outlook and perspective on life. Because she saved him from self-ruin and self-destruction. Had it not been for her, he probably wouldn't be here at all.
He owes it all due to Silvy. Everytime Geoff talks about her, his eyes and voice, light up big like an owl. Both of them love spending time together and both of them can't live without the other. They feel though, they still need pyschological help. And I couldn't agree anymore. Because of how they have gone through so much grief, he*l, and sorrow in their lives.
Even though I feel that they have a long way to go. They are on the right path. Just as long as they stay that way. Before they left as always, I give Silvy a lollipop as the two drive out of the office. And I see them hugging and playing with one another. Shows you how much they love each other. And how much they mean to one another.
Like Geoff, I also encouraged Silvy to keep a journal to write about how she feels. About how she misses her parents and how she knows that they are in her heart and soul. Also her hurts, pains, and tears. And how is life with Geoff. It seems rosey so far, so good.
As for Geoff, Geoff isn't the sad, lonely, and heart-broken man he once was. He returned back to his happy go lucky self, and has his sense of humor back. Geoff is satisified with life now. And hopefully, will continue down this road. Geoff is very lucky to have found Silvy. He said finding her, was the only good thing that came out of San Francisco. He rarely mentions Starcade as it is all about Silvy.
Despite having good friends, Silvy's best friend and hope also, is in Geoff. May they find happiness as father and daughter! As this physcholgist(Nancy), has seen!
-The End!
