After Sean Lowell and Elder Ford said their goodbyes, he didn't have any time to brace himself, The Jilted went straight to Scotland.
Speaking of farewells, Sean could have just called Elder Ford.
No need to make such a long trip back and forth.
But the weight of his mentor in Sean's heart was just as significant.
He had to say farewell in person, firstly to check on Elder Ford's health in recent days, and secondly to put Elder Ford's mind at ease.
Too many young people, having learned their craft, forget about their mentors.
They go to "higher" and more "promising" places to start becoming mentors themselves.
Sean Lowell was definitely not one of these young people.
Even though Elder Ford would often tell Sean, "You've already mastered the craft, you don't need to be tied to an old man like me anymore."
But Sean never felt that being by Elder Ford's side all these years was a burden.
Wanting what you don't have is perhaps the most common mindset in the world.
