There was a brave soldier who fought in several wars to fulfill his promise of keeping America safe from enemies, unfortunately he couldn’t make it in the Kosovo war (1998-1999), when one of the enemies has stabbed George’s neck with a sharp knife resulting in ending his life painfully.

On January 9th 1999, Grace was doing laundry and singing “believe” by Cher, which was hugely popular back then. On the other part of the house, the daughter Mary was watching her favorite movie “The Titanic” for the fifth time. Mary has always wished to find the right person who loves her as Jack does towards rose in the movie and as her father towards her mother in real life.

At 4 pm on the same day, Grace and Mary have heard someone knocking on the door, so Grace has walked towards the door and opened it. George’s colleague in the army Tom was standing and staring sadly into the eyes of Grace.

“Hi Tom, it has been a year since the last time you were here in Los Angeles, I hope you are feeling good cuz your facial expressions don’t say the same hehe.” Grace started the conversation.

Tom was asking himself silently about what is the proper way to transfer the sad news to his friend’s wife.

“Is everything good Tom? You’re acting so weird, which doesn’t make me feel comfortable right now and by the way where is my husband George? I don’t see him beside you and that’s unusual!” Grace continued the chat.

“Dear Grace, I hadn’t wished to transfer such news to anyone especially you believe me, but that’s my duty to do and I need you to be strong when you hear what I’m about to utter” Tom talked trying to cover his tears by staring at the ground.

Grace has always knew that the job of being a soldier can end safely or kill you, so she was always ready psychologically and physically to hear the death news about her husband, or that’s what she has used to think. However, people can’t get used to the possibility of losing a precious person. Therefore, Grace’s body has started shaking and said “don’t continue and stop there please”.

Suddenly out of nowhere, the 16 years old Mary has grabbed the formal uniform of Tom towards her and shouted “who killed my father?”

The mother was trying to calm her daughter, but she couldn't cuz Mary was densely trained and taught all fighting and defending styles since she was 5 by her father himself.

“He was stabbed to death by a German, but we have killed that monster immediately, I’m sorry to both of you for not protecting him back then” Tom said staring at his empty hands, which he thought were useless.

Mary left Tom’s shirt and kept staring at her mother’s eyes painfully.

“It was his fate to die on that specific day and it’s not your fault Tom or your team of what has happened to him. Thank you very much for standing beside him all these past years” Grace said, then looked towards her daughter and continued her words “ Honey, we have to be proud of what your dad has done till now trying to protect this country. We’ll continue living our lives as your father has wished, and the first step that’s going to happen is moving to Miami tomorrow”.

At 7 pm, Grace was packing her clothes and the other necessary things, while Mary stood beside her mother trying to figure out what's happening.

“Mom, what’s the relationship between my dad’s death and moving to Miami? I don’t want to leave the place that I was born in as well as most of my relatives and friends are here” Mary said in a sad tone of voice.

Grace stopped packing, looked at the Picture of George that was hanged on the wall, and said “darling Mary, George has a brother who lives in Miami and your father used to tell me for millions of times that if something bad has occurred to him, we have to go to your uncle Gerry”. Grace has continued her talk saying “I know it's hard for you to change your whole life so quickly, but you're my baby and I'm gonna protect you, and doing what your dad wants is considered a protection for you”.

“I’ve got what you mean mom, I can’t believe how he thought about our lives more than his all this time, I love you father enormously, and please rest in peace”. Mary said and looked at her mom saying “I’ll go packing my stuff and sleep, we have a long day tomorrow”.

“That’s my girl” Grace shouted.

While Mary was packing her clothes, she was remembering the memory of when she was a little girl and crying because one of the students had bullied her at school, and then at home George noticed Mary’s tears and shouted “My Mary doesn't cry cuz she's the most freaking brave human existed on this earth and no one is allowed to hurt my soul or she will kick his *** to death, and I'll make sure of that, come here” George opened his arms widely to hug his daughter. Also, Mary has remembered how she was trained as a soldier by her dad to protect herself. Before she got to sleep, she held her dad's photo which was in her necklace, and said: “don’t worry about us dad, your brave girl will protect herself and her mother, love you”.

The night was hard and long on both Grace and Mary, and they were thinking curiously of what the next days are hiding for them.

At 8 am on Sunday, Grace and Mary got on the train that was going to Miami, and when they arrived there they noticed Mary’s uncle who was standing beside the train station’s main gate waving his hand towards them. Mary wasn’t sure at first if that person who’s waving and smiling was her uncle Gerry because she hasn’t seen him except one time when she was four. “It’s your uncle out there let’s go” Grace said excitedly.

Gerry is 55 years who's tall and has gray hair, he's the CEO of the famous company of cars industry “shori”, the company’s name is a Japanese word that means “victory”.

“ I’m so happy to see my brother’s wife and my beautiful niece here, I wish I had met you guys before on good occasions, but let George sleep peacefully and let us go home cuz my wife and son are dying to meet you” George started the conversation.

“It’s glad to see your face Garry after all these years, I have messed being here and I can’t wait to see Sara and little Sebastian” Grace continued her words saying “ I think Mary can’t remember you because she hasn’t come here for years, but she will get to know everyone gradually with days, say hi Mimi to your uncle”.

“Hi uncle Gerry, I’m thankful to you for letting me and my mother live in your house, and I’ll pay for everything when I get a job, I promise you” Mary said farmly.

Gerry laughed out loud and said “ Mary, you're a true copy of your father, dear I'm not a stranger who collects money from people, I'm your uncle who loves you and consider you as his own daughter”.

“Thank you, it means a lot to me being your daughter” Mary replied.

Gerry drove Grace and Mary to his huge villa, which is located in the center of Maimi.

When Grace and Mary arrived at Gerry’s villa, they saw a Gorgeous woman and a little boy standing beside the beautiful fountain waving their hands and smiling enthusiastically exactly as Mary’s uncle have done in the train station. Mary was astonished by Sara’s beauty, where she was wearing a red dress with two Golden earrings and a pair of black heels. Geery’s wife and her son have welcomed both Grace and Mary warmly.

“I've missed you so much Grace and it’s been so long since the last time we chatted together, and of course the little Mary is not little anymore, look at you sweetie you’re now all grown up and beautiful” Sara continued saying “ I’m so sorry for what happened to George, he was a kind person who dedicated his life in serving America and his efforts will never be forgotten”.

“I’ve missed too Sara, you haven’t changed at all you still this glorious and glowing woman, thank you for your words about my husband, I appreciate your kindness and hospitality” Grace said and then looked at Sebastian saying “how is the smartest kid In Miami?”

Sebastian was in the sixth grade, and he got many certificates for his excellent grades and behaviors from the dean of his school. He precisely got his beauty from his mother, and his brain from his father.

“I'm doing great aunt Grace, thank you very much for asking and being sweet” Sebastian replied, and then he stared at Mary for five seconds and said “ you must be Mary, my uncle’s daughter, I’m so sorry for what has occurred to him in the Kosovo war, but he died as a champion and will be reminded as a champion, we all are proud of him”.

Mary smiled seeing both Sara and Sebastian, and replied “Thank you enormously for your words, I’m grateful to have such nice people in my life”.

Sara invited Grace and Mary to enter the huge villa, which has four floors. Once Mary entered the main hall, she was amazed by all the beautiful details the place has. The house is architecturally modern and comfortable.

“You guys will live on the second floor, and your rooms are beside each other” Sara said, and then she loudly called one of the housekeepers “Wendy”.

The housekeeper came and replied “Yes Ma’am, How can I help you?”

“Dear Wendy, from now and on you will be helping those guests with everything they need, now take their bags and guide them to their rooms” Sara ordered.

“Noted ma’am” the housekeeper replied, took the bags, and said politely to Grace and Mary “ please follow me, from this way”.

“Wow” Mary said after seeing her beautiful new room, which was painted with Mary’s favorite color blue.

“Your room is gorgeous darling” Grace said and continued her chat saying “ rest now cuz Wendy will do a villa tour to make us familiar with the place later on, also don’t forget that tomorrow is your first day in your new school”.

“Okay mummy” Mary replied.
