My sister’s engagement
Communication with Dad was, at its best, on the surface. We knew he loved us and he knew we loved him, but the words were seldom spoken aloud. And none of us ever mentioned our relationship with Gordon.
Before my sister Karen announced her engagement, she voiced her concerns. "I want Gordon to give me away when I get married." "Mm-hmm," I replied.” But I want Dad to give me away, too. I don't want to hurt either one of them." She added.
I knew Gordon would understand. My father, however, would be a little harder to convince. "Let me see what I can do." I said to my sister. He is our natural father after all, how could he allow anybody else give his sister away? I called dad, he was busy in office. Every time I called him, he was busy with his great brushless motor. Our dad was crazy about his work; he could stay in his office all night to research his brushless hub motor or anything related on the brushless motors without a step out his office. My mom couldn’t bear it and divorced him.
