I came home from school a few hours earlier for reasons that don’t really matter. I walked normally to my room and I heard the shower in the bathroo... running. The door was wide open. My mother thought that she would be alone for at least 2 hours more since she didn’t expect me. My father would come home after 8pm every day but Sundays.I wasn’t going to see much behind the shower curtain but still I was going to have a clear image behind the clear shower curtains.

Dad, why did you get tested for giving me a kidney if you weren't my natural father?" Hope, Brad, I hoped and prayed to God that I was a match for you.
