Zach entered the building and slowly walked up to her. When he reached her their eyes locked in a hazy fantasy. Then, the woman started to slowly cry, and large diamond tears fall down her soft cheeks. She flings her arms around her son and whispers in his ear “I’m sorryâ€?.

The reason for Zach’s mum’s disappearance is that Zach’s father filed a restraining order against her to see Zach.

He and I started to date and his mum and my dad got married a few years later, bit of a coincidence but it was romantic all the same. I was the bride’s maid and Zack was the groom’s man.

It is now twelve years later and Zach and I are re-telling this life changing experience to our two children Betty and Sam, trying to make them aware of how one event can change your life forever.
