Prologue: Good-bye, Mother.
"Daddy?" Sango asked, placing her little pudgy hand on her father's leg as he worked at his desk, his fingers hitting keys furiously on his laptop. "Where is mommy?"
Her father never looked down at her as he responded. "She isn't feeling well, Sango baby. I took her to the hospital. She'll get better over there." he said with a tremble to his sturdy voice.
"What is wrong with her?"
"Her chest was hurting earlier today. Don't worry, she'll be home soon." He said with a dull tone and a single tear running down his cheek.
