[ WP ] `` He punched through his chest like tissue paper . ''

Little Sammy rubbed the sleep from his eyes and walked downstairs to find a birthday present from his dad on the kitchen counter. 
 
 For four years now, this is the only contact he's had with his father, but his mom has always assured him of his return. 
 
 As he inspects the Marvel gift bag with red tissue paper, he is ecstatic to find the Avengers video game he was raving about to his mother weeks ago. However, his excitement is short lived as he realizes something. He turns to his mother. 
 
 `` Mama, how did Daddy know I wanted this?'' 
 
 Not expecting the question, she goes wide eyed and stammers, `` Well, I... we still... he does call sometimes, sweetie.'' 
 
 It was in that moment, on the morning of his 9th birthday, that he realized his father left him. And he had no intention of ever coming back. He punched through his chest like tissue paper.
