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.

When something goes missing, we tend to think of anyone who’s not family as an intruder.
