They thought they were simply meeting to reconnect after six decades. A casual reunion, a cup of coffee, a few polite words. But what unfolded that day became something no one in their families could have imagined.

Robert had lived a life filled with motion and change. He had called six different states home, served twenty years in the military, and raised two sons who, in adulthood, rarely called unless it was Father’s Day or they needed something fixed around the house.
