Julian started attending the children’s school events, standing at the back, trying not to be intrusive. He watched them with pride, clapping loudly at their achievements. “Hey, you’re Julian, right?” a parent asked during a school function. Julian nodded, offering a polite smile. He gradually began to build a rapport with other parents and teachers. His presence was noticed, yet he focused solely on being there for his children. It was a slow, steady process.
