On the night of my daughter's birthday, we sat together at the dining table waiting for her father. After the food turned cold, I reheated everything. By now, the frosting on the birthday cake had melted into a runny mess. My little girl, who had been eagerly waiting for her father couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep half-sprawled on the table. At exactly midnight, Zaryna Schakeloc posted an update on her social media page. It was a picture of a cake with the caption: [So happy celebrating my little boy's birthday tonight. May this moment last forever.] The man in the photo blowing out candles with her son was my husband and my daughter's father, Irwin Juglar.
