2. "What Can Happen in a Moment?"

The beginning of an adventure.
-The moment he presents the ring.

The creation of a memory.
-The moment she says "yes."

The confirmation of love.
-The moment he says "I do."

A cause for excitement.
-The moment she says "I'm pregnant."

A new beginning.
-"You're hired."

The end of that beginning.
-"You're fired."

A new understanding of love.
-The moment she's born.

A shot of disappointment.
-"We'll call you."

And further disappointment.
-"We'll let you know."

A shot of desperation.
-The moment he enlists.

The moment the world begins to crumble.
-The moment he kisses them goodbye.




A reason to smile.
-The moment his name appears on the caller ID.

A reason to laugh.
-The moment she finds his old yearbook pictures.

A reason to wish you were there.
-The moment she says "Dada."

The opening of a wound.
-The moment he loses a friend.

The changing of a man.
-The moment he takes his first life.

A reason to worry.
-The moment he stops calling.

The loss of hope.
-"I surrender"




The end of a life.
-The moment his heart beats its last.

The end of the world.
-The moment she's handed the flag.

The end of the universe.
-The moment she says "Where's Dada?"
