Mom is conspicuously absent, and we feel it is accounts of her for which the child thirsts, and which the father is able at last with the passage of years (his daughter is a little bit pressured, so we understand that she didn’t get to know Mom well at all before she was taken) to recount with less pain and more simple gratitude for having experienced them.
Even the partial light shining on him speaks of his stage of transformation…
As so often happens in such situations of tragic personal loss, the innocent presence of the father’s little one has kept him grounded, given him reasons to carry on, and, now, helps him toward healing.
