On my daughter’s tenth birthday, I finally gave her the gift she’d been begging for – a violin. Her eyes lit up. “Mommy, look! Grandpa, look!” she exclaimed, running to show my father. He didn’t smile. “A violin? Do you want the whole family screaming all day?” Before I could answer, he snatched it – and threw it to the floor. It shattered with a loud crash.
