My 47th birthday passed in near silence just three plates on the table, one seat left untouched, a quiet echo of the daughter I hadn\u2019t spoken to in two years.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Every birthday, I still set that place for her, as if the simple act might somehow bring her back.<\/p>\n

After washing the dishes, I stumbled upon a birthday card I\u2019d never seen before. It was from Karen, my daughter, filled with heartfelt apologies, words of love, and an address in Canada.

The revelation stung, but the letter\u2019s contents gave me strength. Karen had wanted to reconnect and I wasn\u2019t going to let another moment slip away. That evening, I packed my suitcase and set out to close the distance time had built.<\/p>\n
