he wakes up everyday---but only for them.

he showers, eats, and goes to work---but only for them.

he holds back his sadness and depression---but only for them.

he doesn't want his useless and meaningless state of life to affect their outlook. if anything they should be happy.

although he never hugs or says i love you, they know.

although he never showed up to any of her games, she still thinks he's proud of her.

although he never told her she was beautiful, she hopes he thinks she is.

he is a simple man. very serious.

a man too afraid to show his daughter love.

so afraid to feel something that he decides to feel nothing instead.

 

in his mind numbness is easier than feeling other's sadness and pain.
