Winnie said, “I don’t think my life has been bad without my dad. Grandpa and Mom love me very much and have always given me plenty of security and care. I still grew up healthy.”
Grandpa Francoeur grunted twice. “I wonder who used to come home crying and ask for a father, saying that everyone else had a father and that you wanted one too.”
Winnie: “…”
“Who wrote an essay saying she had never experienced a father’s love, had never met her father in person, and had never experienced his companionship? You wrote that you desperately wanted to know what it felt like to have a father’s love and companionship.”
Winnie was speechless.
That had been when she was a child.
Fine, she admitted that deep down, she had longed for her father’s love.
