"In school I was always the kid that everyone avoided." "Why did they avoid me?" "Did I scare them without meaning to?" "But a kind girl came up to me…her name was Anastasia I adored her she was so beautiful." "We always talked together no matter what." "She would always listen to me and I would always listen to her. Eventually we fell in love and had a child and named her Anna." "However I knew that this happiness wouldn't last forever." "A war broke out and I had to go fight for our czar at that time." "But when I came home I did not see the smiling faces I wanted to see all I saw was… destruction."

"Ivan!" a voice called to me.
I knew the voice it was Anastasia.
"Anastasia where are you?!"
My heart beated faster, and faster till I couldn't breathe soon I found Anastasia covered in blood holding our daughter unharmed in her arms.
I had this strange feeling that she was going to leave me and her daughter behind.
"Is she ok? Are you ok?"
"Yes our lovely beautiful daughter is alive and well….but I don't think I'm going to make it….."
"What do you mean? We're all going to make it you, Anna and me we'll all make it…."
(Tears start to roll down Ivan's face but he hides the fact)
"You don't have to lie to me Ivan…I know I won't make it."
(With that Anastasia fell into an eternal sleep)
Anastasia? Anastasia?! Anastasia!
I decided then that I would never love someone ever again even if I was told to I would marry them but not love them as much as I loved Anastasia.
"Daddy! Daddy! I found you something that you might like"
"Alright what is it Anna"
"It's a surprise you have to close your eyes"
"Alright…" (Ivan closes his eyes)
(Anna takes out a sunflower) "Now open them"
(Ivan opens his eyes to see a sunflower) "It's beautiful thank you"
"Yay! Daddy likes the sunflower I got him"
"Anna daddy has to head to work go on and head back inside the house"
"Ok daddy see you when you get home!"
However I didn't come home that day my job was being a general for the Russian army
"It felt so warm but it hurt to move. Am I dying?"
"Well if so then I'll meet you soon Anastasia I'll be there soon wait for me and we can watch our little daughter together"
(Ivan coughs up blood)
"I'm so tired I think I'm going to take a nap"
(Ivan closes his eyes and falls into a deep sleep)
"Why's papa in there? How's he going to go to work now? He's only sleeping isn't he? He's just sleeping so they should keep the box open so daddy can go to work."
(the maid hugs Anna and cries)
"It's ok papa just sleeping he'll wake up soon I'm sure of it and when he does I'll be here waiting"
