I HADN’T SPOKEN TO MY DAD IN 6 YEARS—NOW I CAN ONLY SEE HIM THROUGH GLASS

I HADN’T SPOKEN TO MY DAD IN 6 YEARS—NOW I CAN ONLY SEE HIM THROUGH GLASS

He used to call me his little girl, even when I was pushing thirty and had my own apartment across town. We were close—really close—until we weren’t.

Six years ago, we had a fight. A stupid one, if I’m being honest. It started over politics, but underneath that was grief, control, and two people who didn’t know how to speak the same language anymore. I slammed the door on him that day. Neither of us reached out after.

And then came the call.

A woman from the facility told me he’d been admitted a month ago. Early signs of dementia, and then pneumonia hit. They were short-staffed. No visitors allowed inside. I didn’t even know he’d left his house.

I drove there the next morning, heart racing like I was pulling up to some courtroom instead of a nursing home. When he saw me outside his window, he just stared. I waved. He blinked. And then, slowly, he sat up.

That second picture? That’s the first time we’d touched in over half a decade. Glass or not, it broke me.

He didn’t say much—couldn’t really—but he lifted his hand, and I matched it with mine. I told him I was sorry. I don’t even know if he heard me, or understood what I meant. But he closed his eyes, just for a moment, like he was holding something sacred.

I didn’t tell anyone I went. Not my brother, not even my partner. And now I’ve got a voicemail from the nurse that I still haven’t listened to.

I don’t know if I’m ready to hear what it says.⬇️
