On Lucy's seventh birthday, her father and son were separated. Sam, on the other hand, did not give up and continued to battle for custody of the children.

Unlike many other fathers, Sam has is only a kind heart and full of love for Lucy. Seeing how Sam cherishes his daughter like a treasure, the way Lucy smiles happily when she is with Sam, you will feel how sacred the bond between father and daughter is.
