Kirin had just moved into the neighborhood. He had lost his wife about a month a go and was looking for a fresh start for him and his son. He glanced out the window as he was unpacking into the back yard where the young boy was exploring. He looked so much like his mother. Though the boy had his raven hair.

The boys hair was to his shoulders. He had decide that he wanted his hair long just like his daddy's hair. Kirin, whose hair was to his waist, had been reluctant but had decided to let him do it. It was just hair after all. Though the two had talked that there might be kids who would make fun of him for being a boy and having long hair. His son hadn't cared in the least.

Before moving Kirin had sent in an application to have his son in day care. He hated doing it. Hated it with a passion. But he had a job starting soon and he needed somebody to care for his son while he was at work. A small sob escaped his throat. His wife had stayed home with him, before.

"Cooper it's time to come in for lunch." He called out to the little boy.

"Alright daddy!" He said running to Kirin who scooped him up.
