All I've ever wanted was a perfect family. Is that too much to ask for?
   I can still smell the faint lavender scent from my Okaasan. 
  I can almost feel the warm embrace from her hugs. 
  My small body was ripped from her tight grasp and flung into cold brawny arms. 
  At age 5 I cried, unknown to the realness of the situation. Now ten years later, I still cry when remembering what I've lost but also grateful of the evil I was protected from.
