Adam didn’t visit his mother for years, neglecting her after he started having a life of his own. One day, he had to pick up some documents from her home, only to find the home destroyed and abandoned. Diana Evans raised her son Adam alone. Although she struggled, she worked very hard to feed him and pay for his education. After graduating from high school, he decided to attend a university halfway across the country. Although Diana was sad, she happily sent Adam off to study and live in New York while she remained in California. They would keep in touch during his first few years there, and he would call his mother whenever he had time. Diana never got to visit Adam in New York throughout his years in college.

Their primary mode of communication was through phone calls, and although these started to lessen as time passed, Diana still appreciated them very much.When Adam was set to graduate from university, he called his mom to invite her over. “Hey, mom!” he said on the phone.“Hi Adam, it’s so great to hear from you! How have you been?” she said excitedly. “I’m good, mom! I’m calling because I’m finally graduating in two weeks. Will you be able to come over?” he asked. Hearing that, Diana was so proud and could feel her tears coming. She’d do anything to see her precious son march to get his diploma.
