Ryan was sending me photos of sunsets at sea and telling me he was missing us.
I was sending him videos of little girls, photos of their first smiles and messages about every new thing they were doing.
I was telling him about sleepless nights, and he was answering me that he would give anything to be home.
Now I knew that while I was trying to take his place in our children’s lives, he was building another life on the ship.
Dad stopped at a gas station after nearly an hour.
He bought me water and a sandwich, then he sat next to me.
Claire, I want you to listen to me carefully. You don’t have to make all the decisions today.
I wiped my tears.
I don’t want to see him again.
- I understand. But you have two kids together. You will have to deal with the right thing with the help of a lawyer so that the little girls are protected.
I have approved.
