Gordie 22 eight months after she dropped the D

[Gordie]

I heard a story on the radio that resonated with me

It was about a middle aged man who had been shot by his own father decades earlier

His father went to jail and out of his life

A few decades later the father was released from prison and reached out to his son

Son was very cautious but decided to be open and meet with him

Strangely the father acted as if nothing had happened

He did not speak of the event and offered no apology

Son wanted to ask him why he did he do what he did

But then he came to a point where he realized there was no point

He said I realized the pain of me not knowing the answer

Was more bearable than forcing him to tell me
