While the loss of his grandmother was heartbreaking for Jamie Foxx, a glimmer of hope came out of it, as his father actually showed up at her funeral. In a profile by GQ, Foxx said that, after years of absence, his father was tentatively testing the waters to rejoin the family: «Are you my son? Are you not my son? I wanna reconcile but I’m scared,» he said his father had asked him.
It seemed as if his father was hoping to make amends and finally forge a real father-son relationship, so Foxx said he opened his arms, telling his father, «You don’t have to be scared. It is what it is.» Despite the hope this brief encounter spurred, Foxx said, after the funeral, his father disappeared on him yet again, and they hadn’t spoken since.
The funeral happened in 2004, but even a decade later, in 2014, Foxx admitted he would make room for another reunion, telling The Sunday Times that «the door is open» for his father. He did concede that this wasn’t about blind forgiveness, but partially in hopes of settling some of the questions that had plagued him for years, like why father never visited him despite living less than 30 miles away. «What happened? Where were you? Were you stricken with something? Could you not make it?» Foxx asked.
