Dad was sent to prison, where he drifted through each day like a zombie.

He would stare at the wall and mumble, “You’re all so cruel. How could you leave me here alone, clinging to life? I want to die too.”

“But I don’t even have the freedom to die anymore.”

Once the guards realized he was suicidal, they started watching him like hawks.

That made Dad the safest person in the whole place.

Mom hovered nearby and whispered another apology.

“I’m sorry, honey. I just missed our daughter too much. I’d rather die to atone for what I’ve done.”

“I’m sorry to our little boy too. I wasn’t a good mom to him either… I’m leaving him in your hands now.”

It was like Dad suddenly heard her for real. He let out a bitter laugh.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Why is it always ‘I’m sorry’? Is it really that hard to do right just once?”

Mom froze.
