Picking up the top card, he slipped it out of its green envelope and read the Father’s Day greeting sent to him last year by his son Keith. That he could actually read the words gave him chills and put tears in his eyes. For the next hour, he made his way through the stack and each and every one he read filled his heart to bursting. The last one was handmade. It came from Bethany and by the date written on the bottom she’d been seven years old. She’d drawn a picture of a little brown-skinned man standing on top of a big, blue-colored world. Printed below it were the words—You are the best daddy in the whole wide world! Love Bethany. By then he was crying openly and had to get up and stare out at the ocean until he regained his composure. Genevieve had given him such a precious precious gift and it was one he’d treasure for the rest of his life. He thought about his first wife, Carla. He didn’t think Gen would mind that he felt good about finally keeping his promise. He glanced down at Bethany’s card in his hand and felt the emotion rise once more.
