A long time ago when cupid's dad was younger, he was about fourteen his own dad got diagnosed with stage 3 terminal lung cancer slowly taking away his life as a result. His father had not lived to see even five more years to see Cupid's dad Jackson is his name to grow up. Eventually leaving his life at the tender age of 16. It massively affected him in ways he wouldn't until truly realize until years way later. All throughout his life past that point he wouldn't have any true male role models to help him in his life and understand who he was as a man.Through going into the military it made him stronger mentally but still he had not gone and recieved any help from his mental problems he faced with or the pain he faced with from the premature death of his dad at his youngish age.
"Pack your bags Cupid, "Said Jackson. "Why what do you mean dad where we are going," Said Cupid. This was the very first time his dad had actually decided to take cupid along to wherever he went not knowing where he was going to go, or what he was going to see was an experience all by itself cupid thought of it very interesting and kept wondering where he could really go. So, cupid packed his bags as he didn't have much to pack, he just packed his toothbrush toothpaste hairbrush soap and a couple other essentials Afterall it would only take about a day for the whole trip to transpire. Throughout its Cupid would see some roads or things he had never seen before. They left the apartment in the beat-up old chevy 92 civic although it was beat-up and pretty rundown cupid liked it, he liked anything that meant he got to explore the world around him. They prepared in total for their road trip while Jackson was taking the stuff out to the car cupid said his goodbyes to his mother "Bye mom!!" Cupid said happily for once with a smile on his face. "Bye honey stay safe" said Cupids mom while she had a gentle little smile and blew him a kiss goodbye when he got in the front seat of the car with his seatbelt on.
On the road Cupid saw just how his addition truly was and the type of things he could see in his neighborhood like the theater and the arcade he had never been too. Once they left his addition though he saw things Hes never seen before like different types of cars that he would see on the road he had never seen before in different colors too he would call the "small fat red cars ladybugs" in his opinion causing his father to bust out a hasty laugh. He even went across a bridge he had never been across one before in his life and had not yet seen it and thought it was the coolest thing ever at the time as he saw the jaw bridges turn up after he crossed the bridge and he just stared at it in awe. His whole life Cupid was completely sheltered in a sense and as a result he sometimes missed some points of life like just living to experience living life for gratitude. For once cupid felt completely happy while he was travelling the road seeing houses completely decorated and furnished in different colors and things on the walls as people were building snowmen outside as it was winter and the snow was all over the ground even covering their car. Though the road trip would eventually soon end just as it had begun.
It was time for them to arrive at a scene of greenery as the bushes and trees completely enveloped and encircled the area around them leading up a trail of pebbles and stones with very old brick buildings around them cupid had never seen something like this, he didn't even know what to make of it."Well were almost there cupid just be ready "Said Jackson. Cupid didn't know what to think at all honestly finding the situation strange at the time.They eventually stopped in front of a big 6ft whole in the ground with a massive stone in front of it with flowers all around and over it and moss and greenery coming from the ground giving a sort of lovely feel to it."Well time to get out cupid "Said Jackson with a sort of different face a face cupid had never recognized he had never seen a face of guilt and sadness swept across his father's face. His father was a very tall man maybe about 6ft3 with dark pitch-black eyes and wavy thick blonde hair a fairly unique contrast his father was quite good-looking with a good jawline and side profile and cheekbones models wished for. In his older age though these features had gone more out the window.

The face of sadness and guilt that was completely trapping his father's face did not go away as they walked up to the gravestone infact it intensified. As to intensify the situation at hand before them and the completely unbeknownst negativity that his father had dealt with that cupid had not known about. Using his father's gravestone to come and make amends to every severity and sin he has plagued upon people in terms and regarding his life trying his hardest to correct the past faulty decisions. He couldn't explain the feeling or what he meant to cupid yet but cupid kind of understood emotionally and intuitively what his father was struggling with although obviously not the whole story it was still vague to cupid, but it was more real. The realer everything became as his father read the gravestone "Here lies Jackethin veyin xavourn December 19th, 1931, to January 19th, 1975.This was my father's gravestone the only man in my life to truly teach me how to be a man he died when I was 16 from stage 3 terminal lung cancer if you have any questions ask now". Cupid couldn't even begin to ask questions though he didn't even know what to think. "I'm sorry dad you had to go through that I love you though "Said cupid with tears almost in his eyes. His father just turned to him bursting into tears going down on his knees and just hugging the young boy I'm sorry I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through I swear I didn't mean for any of this to happen I wanted your life to be better your my son."Both just cried upon each other's shoulder for sweet relief something they had both never gotten from mother/wife something they maybe should've they hadn't known or hadn't thought of it.
It only took about ten minutes for his father to garner his courage and decide to be the bigger man again getting back onto his feet. "My father your grandpa was a great man he fought in world war 2 and was a army veteran he lost his arm in the war though and we would always crack jokes about him calling him one armed willy but me and my siblings your aunts really did love him I grew up with two Olders sisters I haven't seen them in years though they live in new York and we live in middle of nowhere Connecticut so it's hard to find a connection". Cupid didn't know exactly what he meant but he didn't care he thought of dad's dad his grandpa as a great man now and that's what mattered he knew to himself how cool his grandpa was he wanted to be like his grandpa protecting people and society "HA so grandpa was like a superhero, "said Cupid. "Yea exactly like a superhero cupid". He said with a little pride in his voice Jackson thought to himself that his son resembled his father getting the same eyes from him. Just sitting there for a minute no talking just admiring the scenery and the world around them how fragile life can be sometimes how truly fragile Jackson thought. They both walked back to the car though together playing around Jacksons arm around cupid.They just took a minute to stay in the car as it heated back up. "Brr its cold dad! "Said cupid. "Yea you got to watch out for yetis! "Said Jackson sarcastically.
they just got some hot chocolate and went back home though cupid once again admiring the scenery of the houses around them and the streetlights as it had gone dark, and they could see the beautiful stars shine upon the moonlight midnight vibes. Sweet fragrances in the air to distract them from the sometimes-sad reality of a family members passing embracing another family member even tighter as to show more love within time. Once back home cupid really didn't say anything to his mom just saying, "Yeah we went on a road trip it was cool!" then went into the apartment as he just watched mom and dad fight once again outside knowing things may never truly change but he wished for the positive. Cupid really did wish for the positive utmost.
