[...] I never really thought about him a whole lot, you know? I mean, obviously I did sometimes. It was pretty obvious when I started daycare and preschool that most of the other kids had a mom and a dad when I just had a mom. But she worked damn hard to give me a good life and there came a point where I stopped wondering or asking about him, because I had a mom that loved me so much that it more than made up for his not being in the picture. And once my step-dad joined the family, I was pretty much overflowing with great parental influence or whatever.
So you arriving here was a surprise and maybe I sprung this on you the entirely right way, but even though I never really wondered about him, I did wonder sometimes about the other parts of my family that I'd never know because he left before I was born. If I had an uncle out there somewhere, you know?
I never want to meet him. I know he was a teenager like my mom was and I'm sure there was more going on than just him making some call, but that was then. He's had twenty years to look up Grace Solomon, you know? I don't want anything to do with him. But you're not him. And if you want to know me, I want to know you.
