“Grandpa, are we ever going to make another secret present for Mommy?”
My father smiled and replied.
“Of course we’ll make her another present, buddy. But this time, we’ll tell
Mommy what we’re doing. And the biggest surprise will be showing her just how much we love her.”
Hearing those words, I quietly began to cry.
Because I finally understood that my mother’s dream wasn’t simply to get that house back.
It was to see her family together again.
What would you have done in my place? Would you have forgiven your father immediately, or would the secret he kept have made it difficult for you to trust him again?
