Today was my day off, and I had planned everything perfectly, ice cream at the little parlor downtown, a movie at the cheap theater, and maybe some thrift shopping to find Caesar a few new clothes.

"Of course, baby," I said, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. "Whatever flavor you want."
He giggled and hugged my legs tight.
These moments with him were what kept me going, what made all the struggle worth it. But even as I smiled down at my son, I couldn't stop thinking about Hunter.
