    A funeral had never been this empty, a symbolism of the lack of friends and family, how sad her life was. Birds are the only ones to be heard in th graveyard, their cheery songs seem to celebrate her passing. And the bright sun that gazes upon us doesn’t seem to want to tuck its warmness away. Maybe it is good that it is warm, this way I will not wallow in the cold, hoping for the warm hug my mother would have given me. My mother had always seen my father as her only family and only friend. A burning fire love of an immigrant couple who trusted each other for life. But mother was a fool, she was a fool to trust a that man blindly, that man that abandoned her when she got sick. That man who had already legally married another woman in order to get permeant residence a year after they had arrived. “Everything will be okay Leah; I will come back in the morning. Call James to come help you with the child.” Cyan had always been an amazing friend; I had never been in a situation where she

    Having talked to Cyan about the plan and deciding on how to manage the dates, I had been happy enough to finally take Zoey out to the park. Even when the happy memories in this place included my father, they still were good, and I want to share them with Zoey. The summer sun had already indorsed the sky with its blazing presence, the beautiful summer flowers as beautiful as ever. It reminds me of my 12th birthday, a picnic birthday party. Even though no one dared to come celebrate with me, that man and my mother were there. And I was the happiest. “I will find you a good father figure, one who will never run away.” I glance at the smiling angel in the strollers. She had inherited mother’s green eyes, precious emerald globes, which is mother used to call them since I myself have the same emerald globes. “I will protect you okay. I will protect you.” A precious young soul with no sins yet, her lips haven’t said a word of Malice, yet to step on the dirt of the world. “Huh, I thought

Then a little boy who looked almost 6 had run up to him calling him father before he embraced him and left. I had thought I was over him leaving us, but I was not.
