What stands out in this story is that the father seems to be sending two conflicting messages: one that he can’t be bothered to make the effort to see his daughter on her graduation day, and the other that he wants to be a part of the milestone and the celebration.

It's a tale as old as time, you say you don't like surprises, and your significant other hears: 'I've spent my life secretly wishing somebody would throw me a surprise birthday party', and the rest is history; or should I say: the rest is this story.
