Then There Were None

Part One That Dreadful Day

I am not an idiot nor do I take chances when it comes to my family.
My son and my six grandchildren are my life.
For some reason, on this fateful day, I thought I was ahead of the game. I thought I could get in to my son's house, give all the kids their birthday presents and escape with no one being the wiser.
They have birthdays in April, May, June and July! I am receiving Social Security and had to wait for my check so I could buy them all something.
June 6, 2019 will forever be burned into my mind and heart. My world exploded into a million pieces and there was no way I could put them all back together. In the blink of an eye I lost everything that mattered to me. I lost my heart, my reason, my sunshine, my laughter and my smile. Everything.
