My father threw me out of the house when he found out I was pregnant – 18 years later my son visited him
I knew it would only take him a few seconds and that he would know who was standing on his porch.
My father looked older, more frail than I remembered, but no less proud. He was no less cold.

Liam pulled out a box.
“Please,” he said calmly. “You can celebrate my birthday with this.”
My father looked confused, but he took the box, narrowing his eyes as he stared into Liam’s face. I saw a spark of surprise as he recognized—when he realized he was looking at his grandson.
It appeared quickly, suddenly, and unpredictably… and then disappeared just as quickly, swallowed up by the cold, stoic expression I had always known.

“I forgive you,” Liam continued. “For what you did to me. And to my mother.”
My father’s face didn’t change. He didn’t say anything.
