I don’t think I've ever done this.
I don’t think I even saw where my parents were buried.
Looking at the headstones of Raiden’s parents makes me wonder what happened to mine. Were their bodies taken by their killers?
Were they thrown into a ditch, or left to rot where they had died?
Raiden is silent and the sunlight shining down on us makes warmth roll in through the air, but the heat isn’t sweltering, and even if it is, I don't mind. I think back on the memories of my parents and for the first time, I tell them how much I loved them.
I tell them how much I still love them. I tell them that they were the biggest influences in my life and that the influence they had, it won’t be something I take for granted.
I tell them that I'll take care of Raven, and that I'll love the child in my womb. I’ll love this child regardless of who his father is.
I’ll love this child because the child is mine.
This baby is ours, and the love they poured into me is the same love I will pour into my child.
