Falling behind.

"How's your dad?"

People ask me this all the time. And I wish they weren't asking to be polite. I wish they weren't asking so that they wouldn't feel bad. Because everytime they ask, it feels like an obligation to make them feel better about it. To make them feel less awkward about asking.

I wish someone asked sincerely. Someone whom i didn't have to say "He's okay, the same." to. And I could just not feel bad about not sugarcoating the situation for the benefit of someone who's just asking to be polite. 

I wish I could say I'm tired, and I don't know what else I can do. I wish I could wish this didn't happen.
