Sorry, I never told you... all I, wanted to.... say..
"I'm sorry." He says those words with tears welling in his eyes, because that was how he felt.
He was sorry.
He felt so guilty.
If he didn't work overtime that night.
If he came home early to his wife.
He would be alive.
Would still feel alive.
He drops to his knees, the pesky grass shouldering the thud as he did so, closed eyed, he caresses the tomb.
Daniel John Ford Jr.
He mourned for his first son's death, even without the little guy living for long. He had only survived in his mummy's tummy.
But he left.
Both of them were heartbroken.
Both were devastated.
Kathryn's was a different case.
She had stopped talking.
She had stopped eating.
She had stopped caring.
She had stopped living.
She had stopped everything.
He took her home after the child was removed. She did not merely looked at him.
It broke him even more.
It broke him so hard, to see her like this.
And it was because of him. Because he left her alone that night.
It took her months to start talking again.
She was able to spend two more years with him, she barely even talked, and she was gone after.
He understood her side.
But she could never understand his.
She accused him of not caring for their son, when in fact, the load has got him almost losing hope.
He's trying to act normal, all because he knew that he was the only one who could try and be strong between them.
He had to be strong for her.
But she looked past that.
And she had left. Not even saying a mere goodbye.
Like he was never her husband.
Like she never even loved him.
Even after the past night they spent.
To this day, the burden still carves a hole in his heart.
He lost a son, and his wife.
He does not know if he can even call himself a father.
Of that wonderful child. Who was stolen of the chance to live.
It was eating him alive.
"I'm so sorry...." His tears hit the cement. "I'm sorry."
He was unable to say anything else.
That was all he could say.
He wished he could say I love you.
But he couldn't.
