My mom really doesn't want him to.
She doesn't want to make things worse than they already are.
And they start to argue.
And then I hear my father, I am going, OK?
It is the right thing to do.
A few hours after his visit, the doorbell rings.
I go to the top of the stairs to see what's happening, and it's Frank.
He's not wearing his skinhead jacket, just his school uniform.
My father opens the door.
It's good to see you, son.
So they have a cup of tea and talk for a while, and Frank apologizes.
My dad says to him, you did the right thing coming here today, son.
He looks like an ordinary boy now, no stinger.
My dad cups his hand, puts it on Frank's back, and simply walks him outside.
As the news keeps bringing more and more reports of violence and racist hatred, my dad decides it's time to leave England.
