The Star That Lit the Way
My daughter’s kindergarten held a family event, and I rushed there, only to see her holding hands with my wife’s male secretary.
“Daddy,” she said, “I wish our family could stay like this forever.”
I watched as the three of them hugged, radiant with happiness.
Suddenly, exhaustion washed over me.
Later, I filed for divorce.
Then I left to teach in rural villages for thirty years.
If I couldn’t light the lamp in my own home, I’d at least illuminate the path for others.
