My wife left three days after our twin daughters were born and never looked back. Eighteen years later, she walked into their graduation ceremony with expensive gifts and a story about why she’d been gone. She wasn’t prepared for what the girls had to say.
I had a box in the back of my closet that my daughters didn’t know about until they were 16.
I want you to keep that in mind while I tell you the rest.
Lily and Grace were six hours old when Claire looked at me across the hospital room and said, “I can’t do this.”
