But as the months rolled by into years, Luke found himself becoming more and more like the one he despised the most. It took all his strength for him to sit down with his family and watch tv. Who knew something so simple could mean soo much? As he sat there though, he wasnt focused on being with his children, his mind was at work, he was going through his meeting and figuring out what will happen next. In reality, Luke turned into his mother. He began missing birthdays and slowly, he started to forget about anneverseries. Luke had become obsessed with success.

One day when he returned home from working a double he found an empty house. No running children, no loving wife, not even that puppy they had just got. All that was left of his family was a crumpled note on the table that read…..”If you couldve gotten here sooner i would have said goodbye”
