I saw the understanding wash over my father's face. He was finally understanding that I just might know what I was talking about. There were other emotions as well, emotions that I didn't think I was going to see when I finally met my father.
Heartache, anger, fear, loss, pain: everything I was seeing rise to the surface inside of him was something that he had been holding onto for so long. He had thought, just like my mother, that the love of his life didn't love him back. He hadn't died like she did, but I don't know if that is better or worse honestly.
