Analysis of Gary and the lighthouse (part 1/9)
Gary used to
go to the nearby nursery
holding the hand
of his grandmother
(his mother died
while giving him birth),
and thereafter
his grandmother
became his mother
and seemingly, his father too
(as his father used to
work in a remote island
as a fisherman).
His father used to
visit him occasionally
because of the bond
in between them
(though his father got married
and have his step brother
and his step sister,
he learnt from reliable sources),
because they never met before.
His father, Kevin
liked him a lot and
came to visit him,
especially during the Christmas holidays
with a large number of gift items-
he could even
was not able to to count.
