A few months ago, my daughter Camille had a baby boy: my first grandchild. I offered to help: stay for a few days, cook, clean and rock the baby to sleep. She hesitated. One night, he called. His voice was cold, as if he were reading a script. Camille: "You better not come now. My husband says that your presence does not suit the baby. She doesn't want me to think that being a single mother is normal." I kept quiet. She had raised Camille alone since she was three years old. Not a call, not support from his father.

She was devastated. My daughter needed a sign to put an end to this. I simply replied, "Understood." I hung up the phone, wiped away tears, went to the room where I kept the gifts for the baby and wrapped them all. And the next day, I finally took them.

A few days later, she arrived with her baby, two suitcases and many doubts.

I hugged her.
