This is a continuation with no challenge rules whatsoever from my sliding doors challenge. If you haven't read those chapters, it is recommended that you do. As a lot of the story is written as if all the detail of it are already known. So you don't have to go searching for that thread, here they are.

Pursuit of Happiness
The Snowe Story
Introduction
They never were the most conventional of families. Nor the most rich, or the most illustrious. Some looked at them with raised eyebrows, and turned away talking in hushed tones. There was something they were rich in; love. Anyone who looked upon the Snowes, knew the love they shared was as sure as the rising and setting sun. Strong, warm and as eternal as time.
Love that sparked in the must unlikely of ways, and lasted for more than a lifetime. Every member of the family was destined to find it, and treasure it. Who needed vaults of money, the most expensive cars, or the vastest of mansions, when they had a matriarch and patriarch, who loved each other so intensely, so passionately, so irrevocable, that not even the grim reaper could part them? Happiness flowed through that tiny house like the air they breathed.
Until those days of bliss turned on it's head...
A happy day like the many days before became the worst.
In his grief, Jareth made a promise, he would do what it took to make sure this wasn't goodbye.
