Chapter 13 - My Father Left Me One Final Letter—And It Changed How I Saw Everything That Had HappenedThe attorney contacted me again.
He had found another letter.
My father had written it shortly before his death.
The letter said:
Hannah,
You may spend your life believing family means never walking away.
That's wrong.
Family means protecting the people you love.
Sometimes protecting them means opening the door.
Sometimes it means closing it.
And sometimes it means locking it forever.
I cried.
My father had been gone for years.
Yet somehow, his words had found me exactly when I needed them.
I finally understood.
May you like
I hadn't destroyed my family.
I had stopped someone else from destroying me.
