Canada: January - 1998:
"AAAAAAAAND STOP!" said the general in front of us. We were on a march through the mountains. My time here on the army was over soon and finally I can go back home to my wife. She was expecting. A young boy, my own son. I am the luckiest father on earth.
"TURNER!" yelled the General.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Where are you with your thoughts? You can bang your girls if you return at home ok but now you are here and I await 100% concentration!" said the general but with a smile. Yes he was one of the "coolest" generals here in the US army. I ask myself why the hell I had to go to Canada. Why ever I will return soon and that's all...
*DUUUF*
"Oh sorry." I said to one of the soldiers which I pitchforked.
"No problem Sir. I am fine." said the young guy in a perfect clear English.
"You aren't from the United States right?"
"Oh no, I am from ... England yes."
"Oh I understand. ... Turner." and I gave him my hand.
"Oh ... I am Kevin."
"Ok Kevin, how are you, I have never seen you before here."
"Oh I am new here, I wanted to see how it is in the US Army."
"Aha, hey what are your hobbies? What are you doing so in your free time?"
"Oh my job is I am a guardian of princess Cilest... I mean I am a doorman. In London."
"You worked for the United Kingdom?"
"No, yes, I workED for it."
"Ah and now you thought: "Oh lets see how it is in the United States right?"
"Yes."
"What do you like at most Kevin?" I asked him.
"Oh I like motorbikes and these other vehicles..."
"Other vehicles?"
"Cars."
"Ah ok ... why so shy?"
"Never mind, sometimes I forget to say what I wanted to say you know what I mean?"
"... NO?"
"Never mind. I heard you become father?"
"Yes, I am so proud."
"Oh will it be a boy or a girl and what will be his/her name?"
"... ok because you are it. It will be a boy and his name will be Joshua."
"Oh nice, I think you will be a good father."
"I will see, it is a big challenge." I said.
"Yes, but I think with you as his father, he will be a good filly."
"What?"
"I mean, baby ... kid."
"I hope so." I said.
"What do you think will be his special talent?"
"His special talent? I don't know because I will see ... it will come with the years and then it will show what he likes and what he don't like..."
"Yes ... "
"HEY HAVE YOU FINALLY FINISHED YOUR CAFFE TALK?" said the general.
"Yes, yes we changed some information's about us."

As we arrived in the hospital, I heard her crying. I hope I wasn't to late. But thank goodness I wasn't.
"Oh god you are here."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
"Yes come on, come on, I know you can do it, you are strong."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" and suddenly I heard a baby voice.
"My god, my son, my son." I said. I was so proud.
"I will check him if he´s fine ok." said the nurse.
"I love you." said my wife.
"I know. Me too."
"Oh is that Kevin?"
"Yes I told you about him. He is fine." I said.
"Hello Mr"
"Hello."
"So your son is fine. A very pretty boy."
"Maybe he likes to watch at the night sky like you like it Turner."
"Oh maybe, we will see."
One thing was weird. That was Kevin. He look at my son like ... something could be wrong.
"Is everything ok Kevin?" I asked.
"Yes of course. Your son ..."
"Yes?" I said.
"... is something really special, one day he will reach something really big."
"Of course he will, he is MY SON HAHAH!" I said.

Today was my sons christening. I was sitting with my friend and my wife in the church. I grin to my friend, and he grinned back.
"Turner!"
"Yes, yes sorry baby." I said

Summer 1999:
"Get in the car Kevin. I wont to be late to the party. And the girls wont wait for you."
"I don't know."
"What do you mean."
"I am not interested in girls." he said.
"You are what? Are you gay?"
"What? No, but I prefer it to be single."
"OMG what's wrong with you."
"You have no idea." he said.
Later we sat on the bar and drunk a lot of alcohol.
"You know earlier yes, everything was better, the girls weren't so bitchy and everything was more cheap. Our government sucks dicks and HUUGH I need a bed ... and you will be my pillow ok."
"Turner, next time you don't drink so much ok! You have a son you should be an example for him.!"
"My son is the best son of the world. Lets drink for my son John. JOSHUA UGH YOU ARE THE SWEETEST BABY! Hey guys, I spend a round of my SON!"
"HERES TO YOU!" said everyone in the room.
"Come on Turner you had enough."
"Hey Kevin calm down ok. See everyone here is .... fine hugh."
"Everypony here is drunk." he said.
"Everywhat?"
"Come on you had enough I will drive."
"But be careful with my car ok."
"Hey did you know that I have the best wife, she is not only in bed a bomb she is ... the greatest mother ever."
"Yea I know come on you need some sleep."
"A great wife a great son."
And we drove through San Francisco. I lived there before I moved to Washington DC.

July 4th 2010: San Francisco:
You ask me why I hate the Independence Day? The reason is today my wife died by an accident. I will never forget how the police stood on my front door and told me this .... horrible ... there are no words for that ... message. The poor Joshua I cant forget how he cried on her tomb. Kevin was with me. I was glad that I had a friend like him. But I will never forget what he told him after the burial.
"Hey John I know that is hard for a young child like you but I promise, you will get a better life in a better world ok? I promise. You are something special you have special talents."
"OK." he said and he showed him a weak smile.
"How did you do that?" I asked him. "What did you tell him? You told him something about a better world?"
"If he is old enough he will see what I meant."

"NO NO NO I cant understand why do want to work for the government." asked Kevin.
"Because the money? And I always wanted to be a "real" part of the USA. I want to be more you know?"
"But we cant be friends anymore."
"Why? Why we cant be friends anymore Kevin? Is there something what you want to tell me?"
My son was on the telescope. As I went to him the telescope showed me the same star again like at the last 3 times where Kevin was there. I don't know what he searched but there was nothing .... I thought ... but today I know I was wrong ... so wrong.
