Andrew Norland : This is your father. I probably should not be doing this. It's been years. I'm sorry it's been years. I really don't know what your mother has told you about me , son. Oh who am I kidding ? I know exactly what she has said about me. She turned you all against me. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of you , Lorraine and Richard. I don't want you to think I am stalking you or something. I'm not , Spencer. Richard found me on Facebook. He sent me your cell phone number and email. I should have called instead but I'm a coward. I always have been. If I heard your voice I would most likely start crying. So I texted instead , son. My son.
Spencer : I don't have a father. My father abandoned me. I have no father.
Andrew : I deserve that. I deserve hate for leaving you and the others. I never intended to leave you all. I left your mother , Spencer. I never wanted to leave you three. I loved you all. You all were my children. You all are my children. You are my son. My favorite child. I love you. If you don't want to talk that is fine. I just need to know if you are ok. Are you ?
Spencer stared down at the cell phone he held in his shaking hand. He felt something running down his face. His other hand reached up to wipe it away. He was astonished to discover it was tears.
DuBuis asked quietly , " Spencer , are you crying ? Are you hurt ? What's wrong , baby ? "
Spencer could not speak for some reason. He just handed his phone to his husband who took it from him. And he watched DuBuis read the texts. The texts from his father Andrew Norland.
