I was just a normal boy until it happened. Every day when i got home from school, it was the same routine. I would do my homework, watch some TV, then my dad would get home. My mom would come back 5 minutes later. I loved both of my parents very much, and we never fought. However one day, everything changed. My dad didn't come home. I waited 5 painstaking minutes for my mom to return. As soon as she stepped through the door, I saw the sorrow in her eyes. Then I instantly knew what had happened. My father had left to go to the store.
