"Why are you here?" I asked the one guy l was hoping l would never see again in my entire life. The man who was supposed to be my father, who was supposed to be the grandfather to my daughter.
I was hoping that this day would never come. Not my daughter's wedding day but her meeting my father, after almost 25 years of never meeting him or my mother (as she died while l was pregnant with my wonderful daughter Phoebe).
I was hoping he didn't recognise me, as l had changed over the years, but no he still recognised me.
"Monica l'm here to see you again and to meet my granddaughter, who l didn't even know existed until l plucked up the courage and went to your mother's grave a few months ago." My 'father' tried to explain to me.
So many things were flying around in my mind but the main thought was 'how did he only just went to mum's grave?'.
Is he serious about only just going to mum's grave? Phoebe has been going there every year on mum's birthday since she was maybe 6 or 7, possibly even younger.
I was so curious about why he only recently went to mum's grave since she's been buried, so l asked him "How, how has it been over 25 years and yet you have only just gone and seen my mother, my daughters nan, your own wife's grave?"
It was still complete silence between the two of us after almost five minutes so l started to walk away ad l saw that Phoebe had her bags with her ready for her honeymoon. I saw this and went to start walking over to her to say goodbye when my 'father' began to talk to me.
"Listen Monica l promised your mother that l would never tell you this but my name may be on your birth certificate but l'm not your real father, and before you ask no l don't know who he is, or where he lives, but l have always loved you and your mother. I only recently went to her grave because l have honestly been too afraid to go and see her grave, l always believed it was one huge trick she played until l really thought about it and remembered just how ill she was when she passed." Said my 'father'
