"Go on Amy, Tell them why you are leaving again." Howie said with a surprising amount of streanth in his voice. As he watched Amy turn around to face their two little children, Renell who was three and Mark who was two.
Amy bent down and looked her and Howie's two beautiful children and gave them each a hug, then began her explanation,"I'm sorry sweeties, but mommy has to go away for a while, because daddy hasen't been exactly the best for mommy lately."
After Amy said that her two children began to cry, hug her and beg her not to go. Howie bent down behind his two children and looked at Amy, "How can you do this to them ?" He asked.
And in his mind Howie was searching for where things went wrong.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Howie had come back home from a hard day at the recording studio to find Amy packing. "Amy, what are you doing?" Howie asked with confusion.
Amy finished closing her suitcase then turned to face Howie. "Howie, I'm sorry, but while you and the guys were off in Europe, I found someone new... I'm sorry. I just can't take you being gone all the time, the children and I need someone who will always be here for us."
What Amy had just said, hit Howie lick a ton of bricks. He was dumbfounded and all he could do was just stand there and watch the woman he loved the most pack up all of her belongings and prepare to leave his life forever.

Amy looked back up at Howie and tears came to her eyes, "Howie, we already talked about this, please don't make it any harder then it already is."
"If its so hard on you then why do you have to leave me?"
"Because, you and I,... Well, it just isn't working out anymore, please just let me leave, I don't want to talk about this infront of the children."
Then Amy gave each one of her children a final hug and told them that she would be back in a few days to pick them up and let them visit mommy and her new husband once they got settled. She stood up and took one last glance at Howie and her children before she left to start something new.
