His Dad
However, it wasn’t a thief or an invader, but his dad sprawled on the bed with his eyes wide open. As soon as the doctors arrived, they declared Shawn’s dad dead from a heart attack.
Shawn was devastated. He considered his dad to be his best friend. He was the only person, along with his mother, who pushed him to accept his lot and move forward.
He was told over and over again that if he didn’t accept himself, the world wouldn’t accept him.
