It's been 3 years since you had Lionel. It's his birthday today and he's clinging on to you as usual. Even without his father on the picture, you were enough for him and he loves you to death.

He hands you a piece of paper in which he drew his dream birthday cake. Of course, it had his favorite things in it. A cute doodle of a chocolate cake with green frosting ( for the grass ), and a football on it, with elephants, cats, and dogs on it. He looked at you with hopeful sparkly eyes.
