It’s really hard to deny a kid who’s father has passed away. We all just wanted you to be happy so we messed that up. Your career wasn’t about the money. Not at first. It gave you both something big to do so you could stay busy and forget how much you missed your dad.” His heart twisted, and he whispered, “When I think of him.. I don’t remember his face, but I do remember how much it hurt to have him simply there one day and gone the next..just gone.” Nan nodded. “Imagine how your mom felt. Your dad was the love of her life. Anne Eliot
