Suelta el rastrillo

A father received a late-night call. "Dad, I need you to come, I have a problem." He got up, took the keys, and went. It was not the first time. Later came another call, another problem, another bad decision, and again the father appeared to fix it. He paid what his son owed, gave explanations for him, spoke to whoever was necessary, repaired what he had broken. Until one night the phone rang again. The father looked at the screen. It was his son. He answered. "Dad, I need you to come get me out of this." There was a long silence. Then he said something the young man never expected to hear: "Son, I love you. And precisely because I love you, this time I am not going to solve it for you. I will be here, I will pray for you, and if you need to talk, I will listen. But you will have to face the consequences of what you decided." The son became angry and stopped speaking to his father. He thought his father had abandoned him. But the father never stopped loving him. That night, he began to love him in a different way.
