Mum and Dad are still in Mungo's. Dad's been talking a little, but Mum still hasn't woken up. Griff, Gerry, and I have been trading off shifts to sit with them. We haven't decided what to do when and if they leave the hospital. The house is fucking gone. The tornado destroyed it and everything else. I don't think our parents would've lived if Dad hadn't side-alonged with Mum while she was unconscious. He lost a chunk of his ear by doing that, but who gives a shit about half of an ear when they're lucky to be alive?

I don't know what to do after this. They can't stay in Mungo's forever. I wouldn't be able to live with myself when I know my parents are stuck in some fucking hospital while I'm...not.
