“He was better when he was insignificant. And I was better too.”
That sentence about insignificance is the whole story. Not the bomber contract, not the FBI, not the $200,000 college fund. The boy just wanted his dad back at the dinner table.
Not because of the dessert itself, but because it became a small measure of what truly mattered. Careers rise and fall, projects come and go, but a walk, a conversation, a shared meal somehow survive much longer.
Good one! Thank you Bob X.

The green tea ice cream stayed with me.
