Luke was named after his father.

Luke senior and Toni were married very young, right after high school, but it ended in divorce.
Toni didn’t believe in divorce, but sometimes people are so different that they are better off apart.
To this day they remain friends.

At this time Toni was living in Ohio. Things weren’t going too well for her in Ohio;
she felt she needed a fresh start in another state.
One day Toni’s mom was speaking with her sister Lucille, who happened to live in Jacksonville, Florida.

They spoke about Toni, and Lucille thought it would be a good idea for her to come to Florida,
and stay with her and her husband, until she got on her feet.

Toni thought that was a great idea, so she made arrangements for her son to stay with her parents, until she found a job and an apartment.

Have you ever felt that something was about to happen in your life? You can’t explain it, but it feels so right. Some people call this destiny. I think I’ll call this “somebody bigger than you and I".

So off to Florida she went with high hopes and dreams. There was only one thing; she had never been separated from her son. She started to miss him right away; to the point that it was making her very unhappy.
