“If watching cartoons has taught me anything, it's that ninja never quit.” With stronger determination, the black-clad little boy tightened his headband (which was just one of his dad’s black ties), and he continued to try to learn how to ride the bike. He had received this new gift from his mom, and he was not going to give up on it. It was the first thing he had gotten from her in a long, long time. He felt joy at the idea that his parents were started to get along better these past few weeks. Maybe one day, they'll all be together again. He’ll never let go of that hope.
