Hi, my name is Roger. I live in a small town just outside of Savannah, GA. I am a bank manager. I have 2 little kids, a 5 year old baby girl and a 7 year old boy. My wife passed away while giving birth to my baby girl. It was hard and it took me a while but recently I met a woman. She owns the local pet shop. I met her when I adopted Lily, our cute little 3 month old Golden Retriever. She's sweet, nice, kind and really reminds me of Evelyn, the mother of my children.
Today's the day when I finally get to ask her out on a date. I have to drop the kids to school and I will visit her during lunch time.
Got the sandwiches ready and packed up for the kids and breakfast includes leftover pizza from last night. I go upstairs to wake my kids up. Katie and Kevin are already up and in the shower. I smile to myself as I think about how responsible my kids are at such a young age.
"Come downstairs when you guys are ready, we have pizza"
I hear loud "yay" from both bathrooms and move towards the stairs when I see something shiny under one of the beds.
Moving closer I realize it is Evelyn's pendant under my daughter's bed. I push back tears and put it back... rushing downstairs when I hear one of the showers turn off.
It takes me a while to realize, I had packed up Evelyn's personal stuff in a box in the attic. How did the kids get the necklace?
