Meeting one's father for the first time

FRANCISTOWN: Peter (not his real name) is a teacher by profession. He is aged 30years. He was born and bred in Francistown.

He lives in a nice house and drives a very nice car. One is tempted to conclude that he is enjoying a good life.However, behind this supposedly good life, there is anger, frustration and disappointment. Until last month, he had never seen nor heard a word from his biological father.

"I first saw him last month. I do not even know how I can tell you this! I am confused. I do not even know how to relate with him or even call him," he says as tears run down his cheeks. He continues to reveal that their first meeting was like a movie. "I was at home and about to leave when suddenly this pale looking old man appears from behind the car. I greeted him and continued reversing the car. As I opened the car door to close the gate, my aunt called me back."
