One ordinary day, like any other, marked the division between the life I knew before and the one I would come to know after. My wife and I had traversed years together, weathering the storms and celebrating the joys that life had to offer. Yet, on that fateful day, everything changed in an instant.

She had been a designer, a creative soul with a passion for beauty and elegance. But as our family grew, I found myself yearning for her presence at home, to be there for our children in their formative years. Perhaps, in my desire to provide the best for our family, I had inadvertently pushed her away from her dreams.
