"Your father has been admitted to the hospital.

With a controlled breath, the doctor started, "Your father's tests suggest a severe concern with his kidneys.

His thoughts were accompanied by the regular hum of the automobile engine as he drove through the streets he knew so well.Lucas was engulfed by the tranquility of the suburban area as he returned home. A reassuring ambience was created when the soft light from the living room seeped out from behind the drapes. He opened the door and entered the cozy, familiar room, where the memories of his own voyage lingered.His son Liam, who was three years old, was sprawled out on the living room floor, engrossed in his toys.
