He was definitely expecting them to take it badly. “I want you to know that I would never replace your mother, who she was will always be a centre point in our lives. But nor do I wish to be alone for the rest of my life. I.. that is, I’ve found somebody I wish to share what few years I might have left. Isa.” He paused there, letting them respond.
