chapter 7 father and son

After reading chapter 7: 1. Comment on the following quote: "and, of course,Alex understood only too well."
2. write a different ending of the chapter :"that night, when Alex had gone to sleep, Tom pcked up his diary and began to writing."

1. I imagine that Alex understood his father after a so long time.
And the questions to Tom : "Why did you leave us? Why didn´t you contact me? "and others are for Alex in this moment as his father said that he traveled answered.
Maybe he could realized it because he feels the same.

Friday, 8 February
I spent a great time with my son, Alex.
It´s been wonderful and I want to regain the lost time.
I´m so sorry that I leave this brilliant son.

Today we were best friends and that made me a good feeling.
We lay in the sun and played in the water that was so funny.

I never want to lost my son , again.
