~ 5 Years later ~
The dark-haired, blue-eyed little boy stood before me. His smile lit up the whole room. A man wraps his arms around me and I can’t help but smile. My little boy Cian sits in front of a birthday cake for him to enjoy. It’s just the three of us. My baby boy, my husband, Devin, and I. all siting around a table in an apartment on top of a barber shop. Devin owns the barber shop, so Cian can always visit his daddy while he’s working. It’s so nice to see his face light up when he sits in the big chair in the shop.
While I’ve lost my two brothers, I have also gained 2 people in my life that I will never stop loving. My miracle, Cian, and my love of my life, Devin.
Devin knows about how I got the 18-inch long scar on my arm, but Cian won’t know for many years. Devin also knows why I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes. Screaming. I know it scares my son, but I can’t help it. He's been told by his father that mommy can’t help it. All I want is the safety of my child. I will protect him for as long as I live. We are invincible, the three of us. We will be safe. No matter how hard we get hit, we will always bounce back. Until we do get hit by something out of our control, we will live happily ever after.
