For years, he ostracized Nene, and was not involved in his son's life. However, when he found out that he now had grandchildren, he realized that he had been missing being a part of their lives by not accepting Nene.

Explanation:

Sequence or order text structure is used by authors to present events in chronological order. Words such as "then", "later", "next", or "eventually", for instance, are commonly found in this type of structure. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the author presents a sequence of events concerning the arrival of the Hayter family members in America. Notice how the phrases and words "in a matter of months" and "eventually" help establish the sequence in time:

1. Someone arrive in America;

2. He sends for his siblings;

3. The entire family settles in America.
