Searching for Answers #13: One year

Another entry's here.We are slowly approaching the moment in these entries when my father has abandoned me and my mother. The year was 3286. It seems that he left us to build this contraption of some sort along with his team. Project Magellan as they call it.. In taking on this task, my father would have to isolate himself from everyone, including his own family, as this project is to be top secret.
Last time my father wrote about his crew being ready to act and taking up the challenge even though they know that it is connected with separation from all their relatives, famiy and other friends. All this to start the construction of the Magellan project..

Only one year left to leave everything behind.
Until recently, for Patricia I might as well cease to exist. Patrick felt the same. They didn't even want to look at me. But now things are starting to get better. Yesterday my wife talked to me about us and what went wrong between us. She said she wants us to be a family again. My son is still not convinced about me.. And I don't blaim him for that.
They don't know about my plans yet and I think I'd rather keep it that way. For this last year before my mission starts, I wish everything to be as it was before. If I was to tell them about everything, about the Magellan Project, about me leaving in a one year time.. I don't even know what their reaction would be. When it comes down to it, I will try to sneak out silently, leaving only a letter for them.
I may be a coward, but I don't think I will be able to face them as I walk away.
