I am going to a place where all my problems started.

I am standing outside as I watch the pretty flowers bloom.
I was once like them, struggling to survive but I've in the end we sprout beautifully despite all the changes we had to go through.
"Yes baby" I say kissing her cheeks
"Daddy said you're leaving for work. is that true?" she asks and I nod.
her eyes twitch.
