Warning for grief and panic attack.
[name_m]Gerard[/name_m] “ [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] “ [name_m]Ambrosius[/name_m] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] (64) is Olivia’s piano teacher and Celine’s husband, also being the father of the late [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] son and [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] daughter-in-law. Using music was the main way he’s coped but he and [name_f]Celine[/name_f] never underestimate their own grief. He reacts to disaster with fear and holds his feelings in more than [name_f]Celine[/name_f], but later he would let them out, a reason why his family never assumes he’s unaffected if he doesn’t show right away. People who don’t know [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] have assumed he’s a sociopath, especially given his brother’s troublemaking ways, but he doesn’t let the past in Catholic school define him. He helped [name_f]Celine[/name_f] through her panic attack at the time they realised their son and daughter-in-law passed away. However, [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] himself would have one a few months ago in which [name_f]Celine[/name_f] would have to comfort him from.
Teaching [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] piano felt like a gift, especially since it’s not just him who loves music, but [name_f]Celine[/name_f] as well, being a retired music teacher at school. [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] only ever learned piano but he has found joy in it. He’s made musical pieces but doesn’t consider it something he’s trying to get famous in. He claims he would have gotten famous a long time ago if he wanted but he’s not too old for success, knowing there’s people who are older and found success later in life. Outside of teaching piano to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], he’s also trying to help sweet [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] find friends and feel like she belongs more in her family. He has strongly supported Diamantia getting support and wanted her to quit smoking, especially feeling his personal past as a troublemaker with a much more troublemaking brother. Still, he knows [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] deserves a chance to feel special and respected as well and does what he can for his youngest granddaughter.
