I knew his ribs were broken already from the weight and pressure I was putting on his chest. And they would never heal fast, and I could just end his life by digging into his heart. I could end this all now.

I couldn’t find it in me to do this to the man who raised me.

And then my mother died in front of his eyes - and that day, he was never the same again.

He would always tell me that only my mother believed in him. She was his greatest win and his biggest loss. She was the only person who never gave up on him. And I felt I would fail my mother if I gave up on my own father.
