“…is your grandfather.”
I stood there frozen, the phone pressed against my ear, as my mom’s words echoed in my mind. My grandfather? It didn’t make sense. My grandfather had passed away when I was a child, or so I had been told. My mom’s voice trembled as she continued, revealing secrets that had been buried for years.
“Jess, after your father left, I cut ties with his side of the family. I didn’t want you to grow up with the same complications I did. But it seems like your grandfather found you anyway.”
