Draco's Journal Part 1
8 years ago
******A week after the war with the Reapers ended.
"When I was 15, My dad was in prison in the Purgatory. And since staying with my father wasn't an option. During the time I had to travel all the way across Citadel space back to Altakiril Colony where my mother was living. I knew that my parents were going through some tough times, in terms with their marriage and it was.... lets just say that day was a very tough day. I'll never forget it.
"If I could remember it was sometime during the evening. I was with my mother and we were chatting with my father on the vid cons... and it didn't take long for them to get into a really big fight. My mom had a new vehicle and I followed her in mine and I had my space license at that time at 15. We went down into citadel at the Presidium commons as we all know traffic is packed there. and I am watching my mother right in front of me I see my mom's car swerving. I can clearly see something was wrong with her. She makes a hard right. my mom gets out of the car and when she got out of the car..... I'll never forget had a glazed look over her eyes that I had never seen before. and she walked right into of busy traffic of the presidium commons an continues to walk down into oncoming traffic and my heart stopped. cars were swerving... horns were blowing... and I got out of the car and grabbed her and wrestled her over to the side. I don't remember what I said to her but she told me "She was dying."
"In that moment of my life, one of the greatest lessons I have ever learned how precious life was and how instant it can go away. Even though I knew she was dying. But the irony of it was she wanted to spend her last great moments with her son before she could move on. Thank the Spirits though. She is in peace now but better since she could spend time with her son one more time.
Life is Precious
