chapter 2

I always tried my best to be a great wife.

And an even better mother.

I’d say I was doing rather well.

But I suppose God didn’t want me to have the perfect life.

Or maybe he wanted to play with me.

Making me think I have a beautiful family then suddenly turn everything around.

I met Randall in high school.

Oh,

he was such a sweetheart.

We stayed together through all of school, even college.

 Once we graduated and finally got the chance,

we immediately got married.

We bought a house together.

It wasn’t a big house,

but it was comfortable.

And I was with the love of my life.

That’s all that mattered.

A year later,

we got the news that we were having a beautiful baby girl.

We were both so happy and excited to be parents.

Especially since we had each other.

The pregnancy was rough,

but I’d gladly go through it all again for her.

Our lovely daughter,

Octavia.
