What an incredibly emotional story. Meadow thought she had grown up without a father, only to discover that Ephraim had spent 17 years quietly crossing the river every Sunday just to see the school where his daughter studied and pray for her. The 888 entries in that ledger—and the pine chest filled with 18 years of gifts—were heartbreaking. What moment touched you most?

What an incredibly emotional story about a father who never stopped loving his daughter, even when he could no longer be part of her life. The 888 Sunday crossings, the birthday gifts he kept for 17 years, and that final letter were heartbreaking. When Meadow finally walked through the door and said “Papa Ephraim,” everything came full circle. What moment touched you most?

They both have sea glass green eyes but he says she has her mother's eyes. Also, what is with all of the repeated clothing descriptions? That seems to have become a recent trend. It is amazing that she had all of those relatives but she wasn't placed with any of them. These stories are better than most.
