My Titanic Story.

I am sitting in a small life boat with a dozen other people holding my 6 month old baby boy in -12 degree weather, rocking back and forth and checking every minute to see if he is still breathing. While doing this, I am crying because I have just lost the love of my life. There is an awkward silence on the life boat. Running through my mind is what has just happened because it seemed like it flashed before my eyes. Surrounded by people I have never met, we start talking about how this could of happen. The officer on our life boat tells us a rumor that it was Captain Smith who said to keep the boat at normal speed when there was an ice berg just ahead of our ship, the Titanic. Why would someone do that? Many people have just died and some have survived but are scarred with terror for the rest of their lives. My life has just been turned upside down. My husband has been ripped away from my life within a few minutes. Will my life ever be the same again? What am i going to tell my son when he asks who is my daddy? I do not think i could ever forgive the mistake of that one man, for that one mistake has changed MY life forever.
