[JUL25] &quot;I should have done something then&quot; I screamed at myself as the images of my son dismembering our family dog flooded my memory.

58... 59... &quot;Home time&quot; I yelled to my boss as I ran to my car and rushed to see my family.

&quot;You don&#39;t understand, she was in danger I didn&#39;t have a choice, she&#39;s special!&quot;

&quot;I swear, I just paid the personal trainer to switch bodies with me and get me in shape!&quot;

It&#39;s been weeks since I&#39;ve seen another living person, I can&#39;t stand the look of these... things

&quot;It&#39;s a beautiful day&quot; I smiled to myself as I tied the ropes around our triceratops and walked him around the farm.

&quot;My daddy is like a superhero&quot; I thought as his hand found mine in the crowded room

&quot;I can&#39;t believe you&#39;re finally letting me meet your girlfriend&quot; I laughed walking into the apartment.

I cursed the crying baby when I boarded the crowded plane.

&quot;There&#39;s no need to be so dramatic, this will get rid of the itching straight away&quot; my mother said tenderly.

I&#39;d never met my girlfriend&#39;s parents, but I flew to Romania alone to ask them for her hand in marriage.

The vibrant man beamed and said &quot;it&#39;s a good day, I&#39;m picking up my son from daycare!&quot;

&quot;I can&#39;t believe I&#39;ve actually been adopted, these guys look great and we&#39;re gonna have so much fun and...&quot;

[JUN25] My bruised wrists flexed against the handcuffs as I heard the words: &quot;honey we&#39;re back from the park!&quot;

&quot;I walked to school on my own for the first time, had my first chocolate bar, first kiss, first heartbreak...&quot;

&quot;Dad that&#39;s freezing and you&#39;re going to get dirty&quot; I laughed as my father jumped into a stream to make his point

[JUN25] I could feel my tears burn from my face as this stranger pushed my head into the floor, forcing me to watch

&quot;Don&#39;t worry honey, I&#39;ll have the bedroom packed by the time you get home&quot;

As I woke up, I was pleasantly greeted by the smell of freshly baked pastry flooding the house

&quot;How does this dress look?&quot; my daughter asked excitedly

&quot;I told my mum I&#39;m the best at hide and seek, she&#39;ll never find me!&quot;

&quot;Whenever I looked in the mirror, I saw a great father&quot;

&quot;When the ozone layer went, nobody realised it would be technology that would be first to go&quot;

&quot;Why do you keep looking around the park and smiling at things&quot; the little girl asked the lady sitting on the bench

&quot;Sometimes son, you just need to take a moment and appreciate how lucky you are&quot;
