Ray is a typical man living on his own just making it in this world. Many families experience the estranged relationship with their kids when there is a separation. This is nothing new, however, Tom plays the role perfectly with a lot of deep emotion to discover about himself and his children along with some humbling. He tries to do the best he can with what he has to work with; a separation, another man taking his place,an ex-wife that finds fault, basic wage earner. Remember the point Raymade at the outset when his boss said to the effect, "Ray do you know what is wrong with you?" and Ray's response was something to the effect,there are 2 other women that could make a list....He is already working with a vulnerable situation and feels it. This is not the issue....the issue is; he really does have a deep loyalty to his kids and it takes tragedy to bring it out, as in most of us. This show should make anyone stand up to attention. The possibility of war, terrorism, etc. could be inflicted upon us in an instant. Hopefully we come through it with as much dedication as Ray did and concern for not only his own but others.
