\nMy name\u2019s Mark, and I\u2019m 42 years old. Last Thursday changed everything I thought I knew about second chances and the people who don\u2019t deserve them.<\/p>\n
I woke up to an empty bed and a note on the kitchen counter.<\/p>\n
Eighteen years ago, my wife, Lauren, left me with our newborn twin daughters, Emma and Clara. Both were born blind.<\/p>\n
