He wasn't there for either of them when she was born.

On her first birthday, her mother blew out the candle and made a wish: come back to us.

On her second birthday, she blew out two and decided to forgo the wishing and take the advice of her friends. There is a time to grieve, a time to mourn, a time to move on with your life—

A time to find him on your doorstep not long after that and tell him he's not allowed to see her.

He gave up that right when he gave up being there.
