Skype and saw his face after three months and she was... | :02:12. | :02:25. | |
..Very pleased to see him and that is the last we spoke to him. We had | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
so many dreams for him. We had this life planned out. I think hd had his | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
life planned out. And unfortunately things didn't turn out the way we | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
