Eric and Diane
Diane couldn't wait to see her father. She missed him, and regretted being so mean to him when she was younger.
She loved her daddy, and had been devastated when he left. She knew that he was dying, but she could forgive him.
Diane had always thought her mom drove her father away, and she still believed it. She always thought Sophie had tried to turn Sandy and Eric against their father, and she still thought she was right. Sandy hated their father, but she wasn't sure about Eric.
She couldn't wait for her husband, kids, and grandkids to meet their grandfather. It was going to go great, except for the fact that her dad was dying.
Diane had always tried to look for her father after she grew up, but she had been afraid of what she would find. She didn't want her father to be dead.
She hoped this trip would set everyone set on John Cohen. This trip would prove what a good man John was.
Eric didn't want to visit his father, but he knew he felt an obligation to. He had to say goodbye to his father. It was the right thing to do.
Eric's wife Patricia couldn't wait to meet John. She wanted to scream at the man who abandoned her husband.
Eric knew that Diane was in denial about their father being a bad person. Diane had always saw the best in people, even when they did something wrong. He had no idea where his brother and sister got their personalities from.
He hoped that this trip would prove what kind of person John Cohen really was.
Eric also needed to say goodbye. Secretly, he thought John was just lying to try to get into contact with his kids, but Eric supposed he was just influenced by Sandy's story about Ryan's biological father.

Sorry this chapter is so short. I want to get into the real storyline, and I didn't really know what to do with Eric and Diane's point of view. I should have a new chapter up by tomorrow or Tuesday.
