Two and a half years later they had a baby boy, they named Micha. Isabella could not have been happier. She had her small, quiet family, a house and a responsible man who had a steady job.
Isabella loved the sound of the kids playing together, the giggles and the playful sounds of all the young children.
Soon they were growing out of their small home and were looking for a larger house to buy. They moved to Brampton into a house was three times the size. Unfortunately, this meant that they moved away from their families.
Keldon kept his job, but had to travel further to work.
Isabella was without a car and they were far from the supermarket and drugstore. The kids were still young and not in school yet. She became lonely in the small community.
They didn’t live away for too long because they decided to move had not been in their best interests and moved back to the city of Toronto into a medium sized home where they lived for 20 years.
