It was back in the summer of my accident; she had always taken care of me. This time it was a different kind of care though. I was terribly injured and unable to perform tasks on my own. I can remember her bathing me and she started crying. I had asked her why she was crying and she responded with, "You're my baby; you should not be going through this.

As the past couple of years have gone by, he has been through several health issues and loses in his immediate family. This put him in a state of depression, but I noticed a severe change in him. He has lost weight to look better, and he has gotten a promotion at his new job with only being there a short amount of time that brings him to a director position, which is making him want to go to college. I'm glad to see him want to actually do something with his life. In my father, back then I had seen some Dionysus that was thrilled by women and chaos. I also see some Ares that was not approved by his father, and the infidelity towards my mother. Now, I am starting to see the birth of an Apollo.
