Chapter 12 - Leo Asked Me Whether I Ever Wished I Had Never Met His Father, and My Answer Changed His LifeIt was late.
Leo and I sat in the kitchen.
He asked:
“Mom?”
“Yes?”
“Do you ever wish you never met Dad?”
I thought carefully.
“I wish some things had been different.”
“That's not what I asked.”
He was right.
I smiled.
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because meeting your father gave me you.”
He smiled.
“And?”
“And eventually, it taught me that love isn't supposed to erase you.”
He nodded.
I continued:
“You can love someone and still leave.”
“You can forgive someone and still remember.”
“You can stay only when staying is healthy.”
He listened.
Then said:
“That's why you stayed.”
“Yes.”
“Because Dad changed?”
“Yes.”
He smiled.
“I think I'm lucky.”

I hugged him.
“We all are.”
