    It had been exactly two years to the date since Jackie walked out on their marriage, their hopes, and their dreams. Finding the 'Dear John' note on that dreadful morning still pained him. It had caused months, days, and nights of anxiety and depression. Not knowing where his wife was eating him up inside, tearing him apart. The two years had taken a great toll on his life. He had lost weight by the bucket full, reminding people of an under-stuffed scarecrow. Children in the street secretly called him the 'skeleton man.' They thought he hadn't heard, but he heard alright.
