His life and career were full of tragedy, and he had worked hard to be where he is now.

According to him, he was still drinking when Conor was born, and though he was little, he could see what he was doing. He was tired of that, so he quit for good.
He was in the hotel room when Conor's mother called him to inform the death of their son.
He said she was barely making sense but said he was dead.
He recalled putting down the phone and calmly walking down the hotel to that place as if nothing had happened.
As he walked past the streets, he saw the crowd and the paramedic's van but still did not run to see his dead son, for which he will punish himself his whole life for not running to him to see him.
The truth is he couldn't because he was too frightened, he said.
