Missing

Like the rest of the postcards received by PostSecret, this one reveals an anonymous sentiment, one perhaps more common than not, and surprising.

My 8 year old son's pillow. So I can touch it and whisper goodnight to him. Divorce is HELL on Earth. (I'm the Dad.)

Why should that be?

It’s a simple image: A well-made bed, pillows neatly tucked; a typed caption describing the scene; a comment.

All normal, except the handwritten note: “I’m the Dad.”

Why does this surprise us?
