9th December 1992

Betty didn't understand. She couldn't understand. She didn't know what was happening. Where was mummy going? Her little mind could not comprehend the things that were occurring. Betty began to cry and and cry. What was going on?

Betty was found by William who saw his little four year old sister, crying. William understood. Even though he was 10 years old, William understood. Betty and Harry being young would not understand the mess their parents have made of their lives.

William was their protector, their big brother. But he was also a child, he needed someone to protect him. His mother asks saw him as her comforter after their arguments. But he wished to have someone to hold him.

William carried Betty in his arms and took her to his room and later Harry followed suite. The three siblings comforted each other. What a mess their parents have made?

Charles couldn't believe it. Him and Diana were finally separating. It was a mutual agreement in the best interest of their children. Their constant bickering and arguments were unhealthy and certainly would not have a good impact on the children.
