Disturbing Events That Stay With Us

My husband disappeared when my son was 5 months old. When my son started talking, he always said that a bad man came to his room while we were sleeping. We didn’t take it seriously.

Years later, I found my husband’s old watch in my son’s room, hidden behind a closet. I panicked because my husband was wearing that watch the day he disappeared. When I asked my son about it, he said he didn’t know how the watch got there and swore he had never seen it before.

My husband had struggled with deep depression for many years. It’s been almost 20 years now, and we’ve never seen him again. But I still get chills every time I think about that watch.
