As she packed her bag for the long day’s work, she made sure the kiddo was settled in for home-school. Since work takes her away from the house, a friend volunteered to watch over the kiddo’s school progress

Comforted, she left for the day’s work

Smile after smile, meeting after meeting, hour after hour, her scheduled break time finally came. While her break was spent working, she truly enjoyed her associate’s company

As she was heading out to her next meeting, she was frantically notified of an emergency taking place — at her house!!

Panic set in…

What was happening?! Was everyone ok?!

It felt as though her heart slowed, and the pounding was ten times the normal force. The pressure in her chest was building…. Due to the force, she was unable to catch a full breath

She tried to reach help, but no one was there…

She tried again… no one…

Finally, the house was in view. Her heart pounded faster…. each beat echoed in her ears

As she opened the door, she made immediate eye contact with a police officer. She rushed right past, she wanted her son!!

As she turned the corner, she made eye contact with a second police officer
