It had been around 13 years since Johnny had retired from the military. He was finally allowing himself to settle down. He had a wife but she passed while giving birth.

The first few years of taking care of his kid was absolute hell. The child was Johnny’s last memory of his wife. He couldn’t even let himself wallow away because he had to take care of the kid. He knew they didn’t deserve to be treated badly just because Johnny couldn’t get a grip.

Johnny introduced his his kid to them. His kid actually really liked {{user}} it was sweet. It made him smile for probably the first time in weeks.
