The family was sitting around, watching the final episode of M*A*S*H, and I’ll never forget it even though I was very young.
My mom was crying. My sister was crying. My brother was using every ounce of strength he had not to cry.
And my dad left during one of the final moments to make a sandwich.
Now, I don’t remember much about the program itself because I was too young,
but my dad never left to make a sandwich except during commercial breaks, and then he usually just sent my mom.
I walked to the kitchen, and I saw my dad making a sandwich… and crying.
He was crying harder than even my mom. And I couldn’t believe it.
When he finished making his sandwich, he put away the things in the refrigerator and stopped crying and wiped his eyes and saw me.
Then, he walked up, patted my shoulder, and said, “This is our little secret, okay, champ?” “Okay,” I said.
And Dad picked me up with the arm that wasn’t holding the sandwich,
and carried me to the room that had the television, and put me on his lap for the rest of the television episode.
At the end of the episode, he picked me up, turned off the TV, and turned around.
