“I couldn’t accept that life doesn’t always follow our plans.”

“I know.”

I wiped my cheeks.
“I don’t think you do.”
He lowered his head.
“I watched you celebrate other people’s sons while barely noticing your own.”
His shoulders slumped.
“I know.”

“I know.”
“You let me believe I deserved your resentment.”
Greg began crying openly.
“I know.”
