Toucan Sam: 2
Author's Note: ashes ashes dust to dust the devil's after both of us.
The next day Toucan Sam got a message from his sister asking if he needed money. "No, San. It is okay. I want you to live your best life!" He said. "You are the best and most kindest person I've ever known and I don't want to mooch from you like what our parents did to me. I want you to exceed and live."
San his sister said, "Aw, no, Sam. It is alright!"
Sam quickly changed the subject to asking about her journal hobbies. He loved hearing about her life. He never wanted to cause harm to his sister. He loved her so much and didn't want to be like his parents that just used him for over a decade for his check, treating him like a servant to the point he moved entirely to another country. He wanted his sister to be as free as the bird she was.
Later in the day, his nephews came over to visit. "Uncle Toucan!" They exclaimed. "How are you?"
Toucan Sam was feeling depressive and was suicidal but didn't say anything. Instead, he just faked a smile and hugged the nephews. "You all are great. Help yourself to some cereals in my fridge!"
He looked out a window as tears poured out his face from depression but he did his best to not show he was upset. He was so used to tears pouring out his face that his voice couldn't crack anymore. Instead, he spoke with a straight face. "Oh, uh, hahah! My face sprung a leak again." He would joke. He always wanted to be funny, even when he was in pain. "Haha! Oops, time to water my face again, guys!"
His nephews knew something was up with him and hugged their uncle to which he inevitably cried harder. "No, sons. It is all alright. Please don't take any of this personally. I'm just… haha a leaky toucan!" He tried to joke.
His nephews looked up at him and said "Uncle Sam, we know you are in pain and it is okay. It will not hurt us. We are just worried for you. We love you.
Toucan Sam blinked and realized that wow… people in this generation actually care? They know? They actually can see? They will hug and care? He then shrugged feeling himself to be insignificant. "Listen, boys. Please. Please continue on in life. I am not important. I want you all to succeed. If you need help with anything, like anything computer related. I will will be happy to help. I was the reason your mom was able to succeed so far in pharmacy. Years ago, back in 2015 she was sadly breaking down and unable to start... even do her assignments, I felt so terrible for her because I could relate. I also have difficulties starting things but I did all I could to get her started and finished her work. I wanted her to suceed and WOW look at her now! San, your mom, is so successful that she doesn't need me anymore! She is a beautiful successful person that is going to get a house of her own soon and I am so proud of her! Me, however, I'm a hobo bum and a hopeless case. Either way, you need help, call me."
He removed the nephews from their hugs and then went to go sit by the TV again to watch some TV.
"Uncle Sam! You are the best!" His nephews shouted. "You are great and you bring great things to the world no matter what you think of yourself!" They hugged him tightly before exiting.
Toucan Sam watched as they flew off and quietly thought to himself.
To be continued.
