MY WIFE LEFT ME AND OUR CHILDREN AFTER I LOST MY JOB – TWO YEARS LATER, I ACCIDENTALLY MET HER IN A CAFÉ, AND SHE WAS IN TEARS.

Unemployment checks barely covered rent, and I juggled late-night gigs to keep the lights on. My kids were the only reason I kept going—their hugs and “We love you, Daddy” were my lifeline. By the second year, things changed. I landed a solid IT job, moved into a cozy apartment, and even started hitting the gym. We weren’t just surviving; we were thriving. Slowly, I rebuilt our life. Then, two years to the day after Anna left, I saw her again. I was at a café, working on my laptop, when I spotted her in the corner. Tears were streaming down her face. For a moment, I froze.
