If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors! But that’s when I needed family the most! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally… not under conditions! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best! And I’m actually doing pretty damn good! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile.”
