A father wakes at three in the morning for the fourth night running, and the meaning he takes from it is inseparable from work done for someone who cannot thank him. Meaning arrives through obligation. Caring for a person alters what matters to the carer. That is how every deep attachment operates, and the child gains a parent with a standing reason to stay.
