No One Will Ever Know What We’re Going to Do.’ When My Daughter Said, ‘Grandpa, Please Let Go of My Hand,’ I Burst Into the Room. What I Saw Made My Knees Buckle, and I Collapsed to the Floor 
If you were standing behind a door and heard your 82-year-old father telling your 19-year-old daughter, “Sit on my lap. Don’t be afraid. No one will ever know,” while your daughter begged him to let go of her hand, what would you do?
Would you immediately burst into the room, or would you try to understand what was happening first?
