Chapter 37 A Mother's Goodbye

• As I sit down with the note in my hand, I feel somewhat defeated. The last couple of days have been by far the most exhilarating and some of the most frustrating moments of my life. They say that it is not wise to say 'What else can go wrong"; well, I can safely say that I shall never in my life again question the curveballs life throws at you.
• So as my princess is standing in front of me, reaching out her hands, trying her best to take the edge off the pain that I am feeling, I have no control over the tears that trickle down my face. And as she says my name, the floodgates erupt, and I cry like a boy in her arms.
• It feels like I leave my existence and hover above my body, and take in this tragedy unfolding in my heart. I feel detached from my body, from my emotions, but most of all, the part that sees reason. And as my sobs start to fade, my resolve becomes clearer. Someone shall pay for what has happened, and that man sits on the other end of the number I am dialing.
