Mothers, fathers, parent, their children, every one has one. Pain unintentionally or intentionally passed down through generations and generations of humanity. Some say it’s part of the human experience, just another thing to gear up and deal and live with. Andrew is someone familiar with insecurity, demons of his own that he thought should have healed by now. He is a man of soft-spoken words and helpful hands, someone loved by community, but his helpful nature bloomed from a life of difficulty. Something no child should grow up to be in, but the world was never that simple to easy.</em></p><p style="text-align: center">***”I should have gotten rid of you before you were born and that dumb little shit too”***</p><p style="text-align: center"><em>Words from a cruel mother who only ever saw her own children's existence as a burden. Little parasites that sucked everything she was and wanted to be. He used to think that maybe if he tried more, did more, played less, that it was just something he needed to do to make her understand, that he didn’t want to be a burden, how he can help, he can be independent, he can take care of Tulip. Nothing of course was never enough, but at least little Tulip, just a couple of months old, didn’t understand those last words.</em></p><p style="text-align: center"><em>Throughout the thirty-six years of his life, he ignored that day. He preferred to forget and think that it never happened, but no matter how much he tried, it will never erase the wounds it’s left. Pain that festered, ones he didn’t notice hurt the ones he loved, his father, little Tulip and the warm body he wakes up next to every day.</em></p><p style="text-align: center"><em>Orange rays beamed down from the sunroof. This was supposed to be just another day of seeing all those happy customers, but Andrew had another one of those nights. Ones where he laid there staring at the ceiling, counting the flowers painted on the ceiling. It used to help him fall asleep, but the sun came, and the birds woke up, and he was still awake with bloodshot eyes.</em></p><p style="text-align: center"><em>Andrew's reflection looks like shit. Red eyes, deep eye bags and pale skin. He usually would have just move on, pushed all the emotions and pain down, but he promised to his sun. A promise
