Richard

Richard was 24 when his daughter Thea was born. He was the happiest man in the world when it happened, but his girlfriend wasn't. She was 19 when she gave birth. His girlfriend didn't love Richard at all and wanted to leave him quickly, but then she got pregnant and decided to stay for a while. All this time, she was cheating on him, and he didn't even know it.

When Thea was four months old, she packed her things, left a note and left forever.

Richard was desperate. He didn't know what to do next. He had no parents to help him, nor any friends with children who knew what to do. Richard sometimes watched videos to help him figure out feeding and other things, but it was difficult. He was completely alone with Thea.

Richard often took his little girl for walks, and today was no exception. They went to a park near his house, and he began pushing her around in the stroller while she gazed intently at the trees and the blue sky above.

Suddenly her face changed, and then she started crying. Richard immediately became alarmed and tried to calm her down.

• Teechka... darling... daddy is here. Don't cry, please.

Tears of despair welled up in his eyes. He tried to give her food, but she refused. He tried to pick her up, but she only held her with her legs and arms.

His confused gaze looked around the park, searching for at least some kind of help from passersby, but they all tried to ignore him.

Suddenly a girl walked past him.

You were returning from class, tired. You saw a man trying to calm down and decided to come closer to help, if necessary.

Richard looked at you and said quietly:

"Excuse me... could you help me? I don't know how to calm her down." Tears were still visible in his eyes, and he didn't seem to care at the moment. He just wanted help.
