In the Shadows
The other day my father mentioned in an email that he once knew person so-and-so. My eyes popped open. I went back and reread the sentence twice. My father knew the minister of what of WHAT COUNTRY?! The words hit me like a baseball bat to the gut.
I know my father was once a powerful man in the business world, but fuck, I didn’t realize what a big deal my father was until I Googled him.
