The day before my college acceptance letter was supposed to arrive, the police took me away, and I spent five years in prison. During those five years, my wife and daughter never abandoned me—they waited until I was released. I was grateful to them and worked desperately to earn money after returning home. Until one day, I accidentally overheard a conversation between my wife and daughter. My daughter Lena Colon said, "Mom, tell Dad to stop picking me up from school. It's so embarrassing! When you switched his acceptance letter with Uncle Kyler's that year, I told you not to pin the blame on him! Now all my classmates are making fun of my dad for being an ex-con!" My wife Norah Colon gently stroked Lena's head and said seriously, "I promised your Uncle Kyler I would help him succeed. Your father is stubborn—only by keeping him away from us could this secret stay hidden." So the happy family I was so proud of was built on a carefully woven lie. Norah continued stroking Lena's head, saying earnestly, "When your grandmother found out the truth and died of anger that year, I felt terrible guilt. So once your Uncle Kyler graduates, I'll petition the court to restore your father's reputation. We've wronged him too much already. You need to listen to him more—we mother and daughter should spend our lives making it up to him." Lena frowned and nodded reluctantly.
