Pushed away Quote by Melissa Tagg
““There were no wracking sobs today, not like that day at the depot when he'd finally set free so many years of furrowed hurt. Let his dad encircle him with all the strength and comfort he'd pushed away since the day he'd left town. It has been an unshackling. A letting go. Today was a holding on. To courage in the midst of fear. To faith in the midst of uncertainty. To a father's love he knew had never once wavered.””
