passions were running high in the expensive and luxurious firen's mansion twenty-year-old Jill was in a heated argument with her father a famous and respected surgeon dad what does it mean that I urgently need to get married who needs it me or you I don't understand anything you have been controlling me my whole life not letting me breathe freely surrounding me with nannies and guards I am no longer a child and I can decide for myself whether it's time for me to get married or not and I will choose for myself the man I truly love
with my heart but Mr Faron was uncompromising and stood his ground why are you raising your voice to your father you've completely Let Yourself Go I have never wished or done anything bad for you you always have everything best thanks to my efforts and I know better who you should be with pay attention to Peter Dolan a very promising young man his father is a well-known Deputy he is only 20 and his father has already given him a luxurious car and an apartment surely you will live like a queen without any worries Jill fled up
even more never down that pretentious braggart who spends his father's money right and left and who is he himself a zero he's still young hasn't found himself yet Mr fair and parrot but after all I fully support you too don't I you also drive a good car and wear branded clothes just like him exactly Jill almost shouted and I don't want that let me live my own life not yours I want to achieve something on my own fall in love do what I want engage in what I like that you just don't hear me the
girl ran to her room in tears and fell on the bed she took her mother's portrait that always stood on her nightstand and hugged it whispering Mommy why aren't you with me you would understand me why is he like that his love suffocates me I can't take it anymore Jill looked at her late mother's face closed her eyes and felt her warm soft hands quiet and affectionate voice and gentle smile Joe's mother died a long time ago when the girl was in first grade It All Happened suddenly she had meningitis and burned out in a
couple of days Jill missed her mother terribly cried and nothing made up her father threw himself into work suddenly got rich and opened his own Clinic he was already a famous surgeon and people signed up for surgery months in advance for his beloved and only daughter the man spared no money or effort hiring the best tutors and nannies buying only the highest quality and expensive gadgets and toys and taking her on vacation to the best resorts but at the same time he controlled every step of the child this always annoyed Jill as she couldn't run
around with the neighborhood children or ride a bicycle with them first nannies were following her then an invisible driver who seemed to be everywhere Jill had often run away from his watchful eye for which she received a scolding from her strict father he also controlled her studies very strictly not allowing her to be lazy or skip classes and as a result Jill graduated from college as an economist well now thought Jill I can relax and live my own life but it turned out that her father's Next plan was her urgent marriage was the final straw
for the girl and she had a big fight with her dad Mr Faron knew his daughter's obstinate and stubborn character so he didn't delay and invited Peter's family over for a dinner party the following day the supposed groom was fashionably dressed boasted incessantly about his recent surfing trip and participation in a beer festival his father nodded approvingly even though he was so fat that he could barely fit in the chair Mr Faron in turn praised Jill in every way and told how clever she was that she had recently graduated with honors and was the best
in her class then you smoothly moved on to the main point well our children have grown up it's time to get them married what do you think in my opinion they will make an excellent couple both young beautiful smart just stunning well your Jill is a beautiful girl and your family is decent I agree that that's a great idea to connect our families what do you think Peter do you like Jill the girl erupted in indignation he did like a horse in a circus it was unheard of Peter had already mentally imagined how he would
tame this beautiful and such a stubborn girl he grinned carnivorously saying I like her very much let's consider the courtship complete when should we celebrate the wedding doesn't anyone care about my opinion Jill asked angrily her father hurt her foot under the table and replied as softly as possible idea I only wish you happiness Peter is an excellent match he will be a good husband to you and I will be calm about your future Jill jumped out of the table as if scolded and ran to her room her father shouted angrily after her Jill where
are you going come back to the guests immediately it's not polite but the girl insolently replied my head hurts probably from happiness in her room Jill called her best friend Megan and swallowing tears began to tell her about her sorrow can you imagine he wants me to marry that arrogant peacock Peter stand him he only knows how to party in clubs and waste his father's money why do I need such a husband but my father seems deaf and blind he only sees their money in front of him he invited them to dinner yesterday I hardly
survived it I don't want to marry him it's insane so what should I do Megan I'd run away from home God help me her friend was always distinguished by unconventional thinking and creative ideas and jokingly suggested why don't you just get engaged to a beggar to spite your dad maybe he'll leave you alone then it'll be a riot Jill was shocked with what beggar where do I find one Megan Shrugged are there not enough of them on the street bargain with anyone to play along give him a little money and we'll put on a show
we'll invite our friends shoot it and take some photos Okay okay I'm kidding don't be mad I just had a silly idea you know me but Jill suddenly cheered up you know what it's not a silly idea at all I'll tell my father that the wedding with his Peter is canceled because I'm already engaged maybe that will help I don't know how to reach him anymore I'll go look for my groom right now now Jill was not crying but laughing vividly imagining this scene rushing she dressed up and ran out through the backyard onto the
street to avoid her Vigilant father's notice she searched around the city for a suitable candidate ever considering the unfortunate vagrants who begged for arms at the Metro or rummaged through garbage bins however the more Jill scrutinized those drunken and wrinkled faces and felt the unpleasant odor emanating from the homeless the faster her enthusiasm disappeared she couldn't even imagine such a person next to her even as a joke suddenly near the square the girl spotted a young and cheerful guy in a cap and worn out jeans with holes he played simple tunes on his guitar while
his curly dog danced on its hind legs for the amusement of the public next to him was a table with a glass where passes by who were touched by the concert threw some money the guy was successful and Sammy even applauded him despite his vagrant lifestyle he didn't look like a Down and Out alcoholic his clothes though old and torn in places were clean he is my ideal option Jill thought she approached the vagrant smiled enchantingly and put a large bill in the glass the guy went back at her when he saw the generous gift
and unexpectedly sang a song about a beautiful dream girl passes by immediately stared at Jill who involuntarily blushed while the guy put down his guitar and introduced himself lovely strange princess you are so beautiful I've only seen such girls in magazines I'm David and this is my faithful friend Rex hey buddy give her a paw say hello the dog stretched out its paw to Jill who laughed and patted him in response how funny I'm Jill David I didn't just come up to you for nothing I have some very unusual business for you can you play
the role of my fiance for one evening I'll pay you well the guy was amazed and stared at The Stranger wow I've never been offered such things before and by such a beauty all right then tell me what to do it's even interesting now the girl blushed again you see my father has been overly protective and controlling of me since childhood and now he's found me a fiance a rich and conceited snob and I can't stand him he's just so annoying how can I marry someone I don't love so I want to make my father
refuse that stupid idea I'll rent a restaurant invite friends and photographers and you'll come there you'll say that you're my fiance you'll propose to me in front of everyone and will pretend to be engaged I'll buy the ring myself and don't worry about your appearance wear some shabby clothes then the wedding with the snob will definitely fall through and my father will leave me alone so what do you say David smiled cheerfully sure it's easy I agree I even understand you very well why torture yourself if there's no love anyway I sympathize with you you
have money but no freedom I on the contrary have all the freedom but nowhere to live and nothing to live on such a paradox tell me when and where to go I won't let you down don't worry Jill suddenly worried oh where do I find you you're here and there and and you don't have a phone I bet David laughed I really don't have a phone and I live in a janitor's storm near the bookstore he took me in there there's a couch and bedding and there's also a mattress for Rex and instead of rent
I sweep the courtyards at dawn when no one can see me you'll find me there if anything well goodbye fiance it's time for me and Rex to go see you Jill immediately called Megan and told her everything they both started careful preparations ordered a banquet at a restaurant invited close friends acquaintances and photographers Jill bought herself a gorgeous dress with a huge cut out on the back and high heels on the eve of the event Jill gave her fiance an Exquisite ring and a red box and so the show began all the guests gathered photographers
on high alert when David arrived at the restaurant he was initially not allowed in due to his old worn jacket but Jill personally gave the green light to let the young man in David was amazed seeing his bride in her evening dress and with an Exquisite hairstyle he approached her hugged her casually in front of everyone and said you look like a goddess in this outfit I'm speechless but to be honest in jeans and a windbreaker you're a natural later at the festive table he took out a red box from his pocket got down on
one knee as tradition dictated and gave such an emotional speech that even Megan who knew about the show from the very beginning was left speechless looking into Jill's eyes David said my beloved gentle cutest and most beautiful one will you marry me I promise to take care of you carry you in my arms and not let anyone hurt you do you agree yes I do Jill replied and the young man put the ring on her finger the exciting moment was immediately snapped by photographers despite the stunned unsurprised faces of the guests the celebration continued with
feasting and dancing until they dropped why waste the opportunity Jill and David had a great time and danced to the Lively music the guy turned out to be so simple it was easy and free with him and she could be herself towards the end of the evening Jill became very nervous David I'm so scared now I can imagine the Scandal that will happen my father will kill me Jill tell me aren't you tired of living like a puppet following your father's orders David asked you live someone else's life screw the wealth leave home start your
life from scratch and finally be yourself take a risk you're a cool girl I really like you but I feel sorry for you I would really like to show you a different free and unrestricted life that you know nothing about the girl thought long and hard about David's words and indeed no one had ever asked her what she wanted who she wants to become how to live everything was always decided for her by her influential father maybe it's time to change everything if not now then when in the morning Jill woke up to her father's
Furious screaming in her ear her head hurt from yesterday's champagne and her legs ached from dancing Mr Faron was shaking the local newspaper over her head what is this what kind of Engagement is this and who is this next to you have you lost your mind explain yourself get up immediately Jill's sleep was taken away instantly the newspaper men were quick daddy this is my engagement my fiance's name is David so there can be no talk of a wedding with Peter I'm relieved about that I'll marry this if I have to but not Peter is
that clear to you and if you pressure me I'll just leave home Mr Faron was Furious tearing up the Unlucky newspaper into tiny pieces and continued to rage do you even understand you silly girl what you've done now the whole town will be talking about how the daughter of a famous surgeon is marrying a you've ruined my reputation you say you'll leave home well go ahead and roll to your you won't get a penny from me got it you'll cool down quickly and realize how much good your father did for you the infuriated man stormed
out of his daughter's room and his phone was already ringing with calls from Peter's father a serious conversation was brewing as almost everything was ready for the wedding an even distinguished guests were invited and now all this Jill was crying and packing her suitcase taking only the most Necessary Things she decided to sell her jewelry and not to take money from her father then the girl rented an apartment on the outskirts and moved there she didn't know what to do next in her new place in a modest one-room apartment Jill felt wild and unfamiliar so
she decided to visit David she wanted to tell someone about everything these new changes in her life were very unexpected and abrupt and they scared the girl a lot David was genuinely happy to see her oh hi fiance Rex say hi tea why are you so sad she'll almost cried I left home and had a fight with my dad he yelled at me so much he blocked all the cards and said I'd be crawling back soon I'm okay with that but it's also weird to me I don't know how to live on my own I'm
used to obeying my dad and doing what he says where do I start what should I do I feel like a fish that was thrown on the shore gasping for air David immediately made a decision you need some time to recover adapt let's not think about anything for a week or two just live and I'll show you everything I know about freedom then you'll decide what to do agreed all right what do we need matches a blanket bread and potatoes that's it oh and sausages are my guitar and some tea in a thermos now we're
all set let's pack up quickly and follow me startled Jill asked where I don't understand anything David winked at her Don't Drift Away fiancee I won't hurt you I'll show you such beauty that all your jewelry will pale in comparison come on don't be shy and they went on a hike at first they hitchhiked and David entertained the driver with Mary songs instead of money then they walked for a long time along the winding paths outside the city Into the Woods and finally when it started to get dark outside David exclaimed all right we're here
come here Jill look what a view from up here what a beautiful sunset what nature there's a stream with natural spring water nearby Anna Lake this is my favorite place I used to come here a lot when I was a kid nature heals and calms it fills the trees with energy the free wind can you smell the freedom Jill really looked at the bounds of this dark sky with feather clouds the huge Red Sun slowly disappearing Over the Horizon the swaying Mighty Treetops and couldn't get enough of it it was so why didn't you notice
such simple things before it's not far from the city but she had never been here before meanwhile David lit a fire and started roasting bread and sausages on regular sticks carved from trees and then potatoes in the coals the girl enjoyed the feast in the fresh air and was amazed at how delicious it was so simple and so tasty Jill had never rested like a regular tourist eating crispy bread with crust and tasty baked potatoes sitting so soulfully by the fire where she could be herself sing along and not think about anything just enjoy the
moment a whole week after that hike Jill and David just walked hand in hand through the City eight delicious vanilla ice cream wrote the Merry-Go-Round had fun and talked a lot one day David talked about his tragic fate my mother brought me to the orphanage at the age of three like this she led me by the hand sat me on the porch and said goodbye son you're better off here forgive me I won't be able to raise you she turned around and left I remember crying and screaming when they took me to the orphanage calling
out for my mummy I believed she would come back for me after all How could a mother forget her son but it turns out she could as a child I was angry and hated her for a long time but then I forgave her in the end I don't know what happened to her and why she had done that so I have no right to judge her of course the orphanage was a hell I fought and bit my way to A Place in the Sun when I became a teenager I realized that if I stayed there
it would be the end of me after all most of the boys had already started drinking smoking and I ran away and I've been wandering around the world ever since sometimes I'm welcomed here sometimes there once I even lived in a gypsy camp for a month they taught me how to sing and gave me a guitar I take life easy and accept it as it is in fact a person doesn't need much for life just a crust of bread and a glass of water there's a good saying what difference does it make how old your
shoes are if you're walking in them through Paris after his confession Jill talked about herself and I'm just the opposite my mother died very early when I was seven and then my father raised me alone he loves me very much even too much he always made all the decisions for me I lived as if in a golden cage since childhood I loved to cut hair I even learned a few hairstyles myself I even died and styled my friend's hair for different events I really liked it and it was my cup of tea but as soon
as I mentioned it to my father I immediately heard don't make things up what kind of hairdresser don't disgrace our family name go to the most prestigious college and be an economist for example that's a worthy profession and I became an economist I was the top of my class and everyone put me as an example only no one knew that I hated my lessons thinking for a moment David suddenly said you know you're the first person in my life who makes me want to try to change to start living differently let's leave here to another
city where no one knows us and will start a new life from scratch Jill said fearfully I don't know where will we live I can't sleep here and there of course I have some money I sold my jewelry but I'm afraid it won't last long David hurriedly reassured her Jill I'm not such a foolish person as to suggest that such a wonderful girl lead a vagabond life I wanted to tell you something else I really like you no not like that I love you and I want to be different with you to leave find a
job live together have children understand you've changed me in just a couple of weeks I don't want to wander anymore and I don't want to lose you the girl blushed and turned red from such words she replied I fell in love with you too do you believe it from the first minute I saw you with Rex in that square you're not like everyone else you don't care that I'm rich who my father is what people will think you see me as a person my Essence my soul I that's priceless and I like that about you
so what are we waiting for let's leave tomorrow before my dad starts looking for me I can't hide from him in this city I don't know why but I believe you even though I know very little about you and I'm ready to take a risk and go on my own independent journey together with you let's rent an apartment I'll go to hairdressing courses you'll find a job and we'll live the way we want no one will tell us what to do David decisively pulled Jill towards him and kissed her passionately on their lips the girl
felt like the ground had disappeared from under her feet and millions of butterflies flattered in her stomach she had never experienced such emotions with anyone before six months had passed since then as for Mr Faron he had lost his peace and sleep after a deafening Scandal over the cancellation of the wedding people started gossiping behind his back that his daughter was a silly and instead of marrying a rich man she ran away with some Street vagabond what a shame the father hated that bum even though he had never seen him once how dare he take
away his most precious treasure his daughter and what did Jill lack why did she do that she had everything the best unlike everyone else but no matter how much Mr fearon was angry with his daughter for her Antics he missed her desperately after all for all these years after his wife's death he could not love anyone else did not let anyone into his heart and therefore gave all the Avalanche of feelings to his beloved daughter yes he may have been overly worried about her protected her worried and monitored but it was all out of great
love and the best motives and now without Jill the house was completely deserted the man wandered around the rooms in the evenings drank bitter coffee and often cried secretly while sitting on his daughter's bed and holding her silk pajamas with funny bears Throne rushing Mr fearon didn't really intend to drive his daughter out of his house he just wanted to teach her a lesson he thought she would come to her senses wander in poverty and then return home start appreciating her father and thanking him and it turned out like this there had been no news
from Jill no call no letter The Father's Heart was bleeding he worried about how his daughter was living in the end Mr Faron could not stand it and hired a private detective to find Jill he wanted to go and give this bum a thrashing for taking away his daughter and whether by fair means or foul bring Jill back home a week later he got Jill's new address now she lived in another city and bore the surname Hughes the man was shocked so his daughter did marry that bum after all oh God he needed to save
his girl urgently maybe she needed something didn't eat enough Mr Faron was even more angry with the Vagabond and drove with a huge desire to destroy him until this David appeared in Jill's life everything was wonderful the man easily drove to the right address it was an ordinary multi-story building a nice quiet area not a slum he took the elevator and decisively pressed the doorbell he was opened by that same bum David only he didn't look like a bum anymore he was fashionally trimmed and dressed normally but outraged Mr fearon could not be stopped from
the threshold he pounced on the guy almost with his fists oh you scoundrel All the Troubles are because of you where is my daughter where did you take her why did you appear in our lives Jill my girl I came for you get ready immediately David shook the man and calmly replied good afternoon to you too let's not argue but calm down and go inside the apartment Jill rushed out on the noise and was stunned dad what are you doing here why are you yelling everything is fine with me only in the apartment in daylight
did the surgeon examine the guy's face properly and his jaw just dropped in amazement the daughter's husband was the exact copy of a person that Mr fearon knew in his youth Mr Faron began to whisper David Hughes exactly what was your father's name and your mother and why did you end up on the street the surprise David replied my father's name was John he was how can I put it gently a bandit he was killed when I was almost three years old and some shootout and my mother's name was Elizabeth she left me in an
orphanage I don't know why I still struggle with that question well after barely surviving I ran away at the age of 15. I wandered around the world only when I accidentally met your Jill I fell so in love with her that I decided to start a new life now I'm not homeless I work on a construction site I'll finish school and then go on to further study iron in US Mr farron looked at him in amazement then suddenly fell to his knees and began to whisper forgive me David but I know why your mother left
you and how your father died your Justice spitting image forgive me if you can I'm guilty of your fate turning out the way it did what a scoundrel I Am David and Gerald didn't understand anything the woman thought her father had lost his mind due to nerves Ted get up what's wrong with you what are you talking about here drink I put some calming drops in it for you tell me everything in order the man drank the sedative in one gulp breathed deeply and began to tell I was the head of the surgical Department many
people in the city knew me and then one day they brought a criminal Authority Johnny Hughes directly to my house he was seriously injured dying I immediately said that there was no chance of saving him especially not at home but he begged me to save him and I tried although I removed the bullets the bleeding still didn't stop Johnny didn't have long to live and I honestly told him that then he overcoming the pain whispered in my ear this doctor I got a job for you I have a summer Cottage so under the roof of
the shed there's a bunch of money in a black case don't ask where it came from take a little for yourself for your troubles and take the rest to this address my wife and son will have a hard time without me please give them everything else I beg you I can't ask my friends to do this I know they'll take everything for themselves but you're an honest man you won't fail me and Johnny died in my arms his friends were very disappointed that I didn't save their friend they started to threaten me but then they
calmed down and took the body with them at first I didn't really believe Johnny's last words I thought he was delirious but curiosity got the better off me and I went to that same Cottage and found the case full of money I came to his house to give the money to his wife and son but they were at home and then greed took over and I didn't look for them anymore I opened my own Clinic bought expensive equipment got married and everything started to spin family work then my wife died and I raised my daughter
alone and now many years later when I saw you David I realized what I had done if I had acted like a human being back then and still found you and your mother then everything would have turned out differently for you David you wouldn't have suffered you would have started a new life and your mother wouldn't have had to give you up to an orphanage don't be angry with your mother I'm the only one to blame only me forgive me if you can Mr Faron was terribly ashamed he sat on the couch covered his face
with his hands and silently burst into tears David did not expect to hear such words from his strict father-in-law he did not know how to react only blinked frequently and remained silent digesting what he had heard mixed emotions overwhelmed Jill on the one hand she felt very sorry for David his fate was truly broken he had no childhood and it was because of her father but on the other hand she felt sorry for her father who was now crying because he repented recognized his mistake understood everything albeit late the woman tried to ease the situation
and said you know what let's all calm down and have some tea Dad I'll make you your favorite tea with Bergamot don't ask me back dad I won't return you see I'm here with David absolutely happy yes I'm not a cool Economist but an ordinary hairdresser we don't have a luxurious estate but an ordinary rented apartment and we don't eat salmon with creamy cheese for breakfast just ordinary oatmeal but I really have everything I need work that I enjoy a beloved husband I don't need to please anyone I am who I am and I don't
need anything else Mr Faron looked at his daughter in surprise her eyes were burning and it was clear that she was truly happy it even offended her father a little so why had he been trying all these years the man suddenly realized that he really hadn't lived in this crazy insane race everything was rushing somewhere afraid not to have enough time not to earn enough while life was passing by maybe it was necessary to stop take a breath look around and just live enjoying every day rejoicing in simple things like his daughter does David suddenly
said quietly I don't hold a grudge against you Mr fearon I swear I doubt that Bloody money earned by gangsters would have bought happiness to my mother and me and would not have saved the family no it's all about the person himself no matter how difficult it is not every mother will take her child by the hand and lead him to an orphanage they will fight learn to survive go to work but my mother gave up broke down got off the path or something else I don't know yes I went through a lot but you
know I still tried not to despair to enjoy the sunshine fresh buns the free wind and freedom but when I met Jill something changed in my consciousness I suddenly stopped wanting to live like a it was unbearable to part with her I realized that this is the person I want to spend my whole life with love her take care of her should be proud of your daughter because money and wealth did not spoil her and she did not become one of those glamorous empty girls who only think about salons and Resorts but remained herself preserved
her soul you don't find that often these days the world is rotting people have become demonic in their Pursuit Of Fame and money and have stopped appreciating what God gives it's scary and Jill and I continue to enjoy each other every day in every little thing even in ordinary things you can find something positive if it's sunny and warm today great we'll definitely go for a walk with Rex in the park enjoying the gentle rays rain and cold are not a problem either we make hot chocolate and sit together wrapped in a warm blanket watching
a touching movie a storm rages outside but we're so cozy and warm and that's also a little happiness Mr fearon replied quietly I see that my daughter is happy she lives modestly and simply but she is happy what a paradox I only Now understand what mistakes I was about to make if I had made Jill marry Peter against her will and then it seemed to me that I was doing everything right and if my daughter would be provided for then she would be automatically happy you're right David I really went crazy over money over my
career and stopped seeing the soul considering the interests of other people just living even my beloved work has long ceased to bring me joy although in my youth I took on every job with such enthusiasm Zeal and sincerely wanted to save a person's life and now I'm bogged down in paperwork reports and all this routine although my calling is being a surgeon my dears don't drive me away it's so lonely in this big house without you it's so sad why do I need all this wealth alone what to do with them and also David I
want to somehow make up for my guilt any of your desires even the most cherished I promise to fulfill think about it the young man replied immediately there's nothing to think about help me find my mother I want to know if she's alive or not if she needs help and just to see her look her in the eye talk to her ask her why she did what she did back then this question has haunted me since childhood and I want to find an answer to it okay David I hear you we will find your mum
don't worry promised Mr Faron and as promised he used all his connections and finally found David's mother although it was not easy she had been living in a church for many years she worked hard and prayed day and night at first the woman refused to talk to the private detective and the surgeon and then David himself visited the priest he listened carefully to the young man then said Elizabeth has been living here for 10 years they found her on the street she was drunk and beaten in a serious condition I don't know why they brought
her here to us perhaps it was God's will we don't keep people here by force you understand it's a personal choice for everyone when Elizabeth came to her senses we treated her but she flatly refused to leave saying she wouldn't be able to survive on the street so she stayed here she is a closed person she hardly ever talked about herself I'll try to talk to her but if she refuses to meet with you alas I won't be able to help I won't force her David said worried it was so calm and quiet within the
walls of the church suddenly the heavy oak door creeped and a thin tall woman in a black cassock and a scarf tied around her head appeared on the threshold David looked into her eyes the same cornflower blue with a squint he remembered them perfectly in childhood and quietly said hello mum it's me David your son the woman's eyes immediately moistened and she fell to her knees and began lamenting David my son I recognize you forgive me my dear my dear one I have a huge indelible sin I am so guilty that I left my own
child with strangers there's no forgiveness for me I'll carry this cross to the end she hugged him by the legs and David immediately lifted his mother from her knees and hacked her it finally happened when he felt his mother's warmth felt the wild beating of her heart and breathed in the scent of incense all the Grievances all the childhood Sorrows all the anger immediately disappeared and dissipated just held her like that in his arms and crying and with each tear all the bad all the negativity left his battered soul then they sat on a high
wooden bench and talked Heart to Heart when your father died Dark Times came although he was a bandit he protected his family but after his death some people came and said that Johnny owed them a huge sum of money and that I had to pay it back immediately or they would destroy us I was scared and left the city with you for a while I was crushed by the death of my husband and scared for you out of desperation I started taking substances that I should never have tried day by day I sank to the
bottom and in moments of Enlightenment I realized that I could hurt you that's when I decided that you would be better off in a new family than with an addicted mother forgive me son I remember that day as if it were today how you poor thing cried screamed until you were hoarse and reached out to me at that time I thought I was saving you and that you would be better off here in the orphanage than wandering with me but when I was all alone I thought I would go crazy your cry and tearful eyes
were ringing in my ears all these years I desperately missed you cursed myself went down the wrong path and hit rock bottom I no longer remembered my name didn't care what I looked like or what I wore and I no longer looked like a woman I was just frantically looking for a dose so I could forget one day I woke up in the church they helped me here cured me and I refused to leave I stayed here I was afraid of that cruel world knew that I was weak and could fall again since then I
have been living here working and praying day and night for you my son I have never forgotten you for a moment my conscience has always burned with a hot iron branding me as a scoundrel inside I hate myself for that act David forgive me if you can the young man wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and said Mom I forgave you a long time ago I swear when I was a child and other children beat me when I was hungry and ran away I was angry and I didn't understand why you
had done that and I desperately envied the children who had a home a family and loving parents at 14. I finally ran away from the orphanage and never went back I traveled to many cities and met all kinds of people and I even learned to play guitar and sing songs from gypsies I became good at it so I traveled with my faithful dog Rex earning a piece of bread with my songs and then I met a wonderful girl Jill and she entirely changed me we moved to another city rented an apartment I work as a
foreman at a construction site and Jill is a hairdresser we got married we hope to have children soon I'm glad I found you Mum I haven't been angry with you in a long time I understand everything if you like you can live with us Jill and I would be happy I want to take care of you love you I make up for everything that was missed hearing this offer Elizabeth shook her head and said no son I won't leave here this is my place my eight hear my soul found salvation I'm very happy that you've
grown up to be such a wonderful person that you haven't become bitter and gone down the wrong path like me that you've got married I wish you and your wife only happiness and I'll pray hard that the Lord will send you children but I don't want to go back I've committed too many sins in my life I can't repent of them until I die goodbye son go with God let me hug you one more time before we part know that I love you too and I've never forgotten about you Elizabeth crossed her son on party
