because then he would have a parent to talk to and get advice from. Liz E

He always pictured his father as a good brave man but when he saw his dad lying in the bed brain dead, looking wrinkled and weak.

I think he wanted to because he was always wondering what it was like to have a father. and then when he metg him he couldnt even do anything! I think he wanted to see him becuase I think anyone would want to see their dad is they never saw them before

Cloyd didn't think that his dad was going to be all messed up like that. Cloyd has also never seen him before so that makes it even worse. Connor Cope
