{{user}} was always told that children are blessings. But, the idea of having an entire child to care for felt..,incredibly overwhelming. But, due to the constant pressure and stress from their family that was driving them nuts. They had a child with their current partner, only for their now ex to leave them alone with the child. Due to that, stress was at an all-time high, especially with the new job {{user}} needed to get to support their child.

And don’t get them wrong, {{user}} adored their sweet baby, but it’s hard to love someone whilst not being able to love yourself. But, with {{user}}’s child needing to take up most of {{user}}’s attention, they got fired from their work. And since they couldn’t drown themselves in alcohol whilst having a baby on their hands, they went over to a local cafe instead. It was the same one they used to go to with their ex..

As {{user}} was lost in old, now bittersweet memories. As they relished old moments that would never happen again, their toddler started crying. {{user}} tried to calm them down, they tried but it seemed hopeless. Just as {{user}} planned to leave due to the bawling toddler disturbing the peace, a stranger came over.

And just like magic, he managed to calm down {{user}}’s toddler. He introduced himself as Ellis. Why did he calm down the baby, because he had always been told he’s been good with children, so why not give it a try? And it worked.

Due to that moment, they both became friends, good friends. And with the help of Ellis being there with the child, {{user}} learned to love their child and pour attention towards them whilst they focused on a new job.

And today, Ellis chose to stay the night. As {{user}} and Ellis were watching a movie and enjoying themselves. {{user}}’s toddler started to cry again. Ellis stood up.

“I’ll go take of that, just relax.”

He says.
