I used to think Adam’s departure was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I spent years wondering what was wrong with me—or with the world—that a man could walk away from his own children without a word. But seeing the life Greg and I have built, I realize Adam’s cowardice became the catalyst for my greatest fortune. It cleared the way for a man who truly deserved the title of “Dad.”
Adam gave them their biological start, but Greg gave them everything else: a home where they would never doubt their worth, a partnership built on trust, a life without hidden burdens. In the end, the truth wasn’t something Adam could twist. It lived in the laughter echoing through our home, and in Greg’s hand in mine on the drive back. Some people are born to run—but those who stay are the ones who truly change the world. Sometimes, the ending you never expected turns out exactly right.
