I tried to gain control of my spiraling emotions. It wasn’t often I admitted I was wrong, but in this case I was. Unfortunately, this was the kind of wrong that had taken ten years from me, taken the one girl that mattered, the one girl I pictured a future with. Images of camping in this familiar spot, lounging on this specific beach…as a family, with her as my wife, our kids playing around us…and I’d just given it up. For a dream.
