The Son He Always Wanted
It was during their first meeting that Tony apologized profusely for coming into his life so late. He explained time and time again that he didn’t know about the letter, and if he had, he would’ve made the journey to see Samuel many, many decades ago. Samuel believed him and forgave him the moment the words left Tony’s lips.
They didn’t know very much about each other in their first encounter, but Tony admitted later on that Samuel was the son he never had. He got to meet his son’s wife and realized just how much he missed. But he tried his best to make up for lost time.
