I expected something dramatic.
Instead, I heard myself ask only one question:
“Why wasn’t I enough for you to stay?”
He broke immediately.
Collapsed into tears right there in the doorway.

Watching him cry didn’t heal anything.

Being a parent has nothing to do with blood.
Love is the real thing that makes someone family.
