My Dad Regifted My Own Christmas Present Back To Me.

On Christmas morning, I opened the gift from my father and froze. Inside sat the restored camera I had given him exactly one year ago, my handwritten card still tucked in the pocket. For thirty two years, I had been the invisible fixer for their perfect lives. As they laughed across the room, no one realized I had just been erased. That returned box was the moment I decided I would never save this family again.
