The truth hit me so hard I started to tremble. Then, a few moments later, I froze in total sh0ck as he handed me a large envelope. Inside were photos of their two daughters—my half-sisters, whom I never knew existed. Along with the photos, he had included a significant amount of money, knowing I desperately needed it.
I hugged him, tears streaming down my face. He told me that while my mother still refuses to see me, I am welcome to visit anytime to meet my sisters. What he did was one of the kindest gestures anyone has ever shown me. At that moment, he made me feel what it means to have a father, even though I never knew my own.
