Flashback journal #2
George and Mary where sitting down eating pizza at chucky cheeses. Their son Thomas was enjoying the company of his classmates with all the birthday festivities going around. It was this 8th birthday and so far it couldn’t have been any better. He was having fun with friends, eating pizza, and most of all this parents where together again. As he reached the slide he tried to remember why they hadn’t been for some time now and he really couldn’t understand why. The though back to last summer when his mother left. She told him she needed a few days off and that she was going to a retreat, where they’d pamper and relax her. Her exact words where “I’m going to be a new me ".The days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months. Thomas would run home everyday to see if his mom came back but she never did. He began to ask his dad why and all he told him was it was complicated. He had so many questions for her... why did you leave? why did you lie to me ? Where have you been? why won’t you come home?...just then a bunch of kids flew down the slide Thomas was knocked to the bottom and the ids piled up.
