“Dads not home” Is the phrase he’s heard for years. “dad?” he called out in the empty home. He knew it was empty a second later. 10 years earlier he asked his dad to help with homework “sorry son, Im too busy. Got a lot to do…” 30 years later he called his son “let’s meet up.” “sorry dad, Im too busy. Got a lot to do…”
