“Oh hun, im going to be late for work” Diane said to her 4 year old son Luke.

“Mom, I thought we were going to watch my favorite movie with you” Luke whined.

“But son, I have important things to do at work. I’ll come home as soon as I can”

The years gone by same routine, late for work, always leaving her son with her parents since she is a single mother. Her son has a full understanding why his dad left the family, she simply didn’t care till all her loved ones were gone.

“Oh Luke, i can’t attend the wedding I have a big meeting that day im sorry”
