Once upon a time there was a princess. She wasn't the most fair or gentle princess. Multiple times in her life she had found love only to lose it to a prettier more fragile princess who would give selfish princes whatever they want.
She wasted her time for years over a prince she had lost. A prince she had believed was perfect, and she cried every night over her lost prince.
Then one day a new prince came and rescued the princess from her tower of depression and inadequacy. He swept her away to his beautiful palace in his fair kingdom, far from the cruelties of her world and while there, he gave her the most beautiful baby girl in all of the world.
Then one day, the prince lost his job and they were swept back into that cruel and vicious world. The prince was working close to twelve hours a day. The princess was fighting to keep her sanity in her job while she was away from her little princess and her prince.
Then the prince was hired on full time and they rejoiced, until they read the fine print. He would be switching to a shift where she would never see him again.
The princess didn't really believe in praying at this point. She had already lost so much, but she cried that night in prayer and begged that her prince would get a different job. She begged that her prince wouldn't be taken away.
This is my fairy tale, it isn't elaborate and it doesn't end happily, but it is my reality.
I've already lost so much, now I have to lose him too.
