There were still 8.30 AM, when Sam and his son, Samuel, went jog as each morning, near the beach.
Although Sam had already celebrated his 64th birthday, was in top form, and could boast of not being filled with fear by Samuel's youth in their training morning. It was true also, that his son gave him a bit of an advantage at times, but he never would recognize it .

It seemed incredible that next spring would be a twentieth anniversary since he had moved to live there with Diane, surely the time had passed very quickly.

He was very satisfied with his life, his family, his business and with friends that there they had.

Their house was not far from the beach, which made him very happy, because he loved the sea.

When they moved there and married, Sam still had his bar in Boston, under Rebecca management, and although they were hard times for Cliff, Norman and Carla (Frasier soon moved to live Seattle, after his divorce), they had no choice and to overcome it as best they could.

However, he remembered Boston and lived in his heart. Every year used to do a couple of trips with the family to the other side of the country. Their old friends appreciated and enjoyed those visits with relish.

But without doubt, the sacrifice had been worth it: His wife was still being his passion and had a wonderful son with her, the only woman with whom, in his life, had wanted to live the fatherhood.

Diane had also recovered with Sam their true essence. In the six years she lived alone in California, trying to write something good, often she had lack of inspiration, but the crucial moment at this time, was when she was awarded with the prize for a TV script in 1993. The Sam´s greeting for that, approached Diane again to her true love, and when she came back with Sam to LA, everyone who knew her, noticed the change that had operated in her.
When they were together, each of them brought out the best in each other, it was always so, it was a curious symbiosis that Diane had discovered that existed between them, long time ago, and that was very true.

So their friends editors, TV writers, including yoga coach, saw Diane´s change, in someone with more human, unassuming and sweet, qualities unknown in her, before their eyes, until that moment.

For Sam didn´t go too difficult either, at that time, integrate into the circles of his new wife: Sam had a natural magnetism and charisma that gained the sympathy of everybody in few time.
Besides, he had his physical attractiveness, which brought to marriage any occasional disgust, but of little importance, when Diane´s friends with excessive impudence, said her, how lovely was her husband. She did not doubt it, but she was not willing to share him with anyone.

After her marriage had continued to write, but then she was 39 years old and her biological clock cried her for be mother. It was then or never. Sam was 45 years old, and more than sensible age for have a son. They worked on the project, often postponed of parenthood, and, within a year, they had Samuel in the world. They put him Samuel to distinguish him from his father in something, because it was a carbon copy of him. Diane then, left parked for a while their scripts to enjoy your son and husband.

After a year and a half since Sam left Boston, Rebecca found other employment interests and she neglected Cheers, which led it to bankruptcy.
On one of those trips to his beloved Boston and Cheers, he realized that his bar had no soul, he took it with him, and was now empty of spirit. Sam had always known that this day would come, although that no means it was less painful.

He spooked about it with Diane and decided, with all the pain of their souls, sold the business: There they had met, fallen in love and had a really good time, but life continued and Sam had the makings of an entrepreneur, and never wanted to work for others, in LA had just opened a new bar and needed money to promote it.

At that time, Sam found the unconditional support of Diane, what made him more bearable that hard time. Then, they had a child of only six months old, and many illusions to fight. So, solved the paperwork, , without no more own there, they returned to LA, although, emotionally ,they will feel eternal love towards Boston .

Were happy years , but of hard work : Sam had to start again, to get new customers ,to give atmosphere to the place , and had the disadvantage that in LA, was not as well known as in Boston, for his old role as athlete.
Shortly after, he realized, however, that his worth transcended to what he had done in the past. As always, Diane encouraged him, and, finally ,he felt pride of what had been, but also of that he was now .
Diane often reminded him : "you´re a man with a special skill to attract people and lift business from nothing."

Meanwhile, Diane followed with his scripts: sometimes urged present a project in a time, and she had to strive hard to get her task: child care and the new business.
But, each night there was Sam for to give her a massage or to cook dinner.

Diane was a woman with whom a man could go far, and Sam had been lucky enough to be the man who shared her life. She contributed with ideas, leading to the bar to her friends, and these, in turn, their acquaintances, and the new bar rocketed .
In addition to what she loved him, she felt that she owed that: he had begun a new life with her, and was the least she could do.

Shortly after, Sam had two employees; one to help him behind the bar and a waitress for to serve tables. That reminded them the old days, but there wasn´t a waitress more beautiful than her Diane .

At weekend, they began to have time to share the family together and, it was wonderful, they had passed the worst and were finding rewards.

Samuel filled their parents with so much pride, ... was a bright boy , handsome really sympathetic.

Often he remembered coach, especially since they bought their home and Sam told Diane, how much he would have liked to share with them that family peace ; baseball games that he played with his son, country trips and days of beach. Samuel´s childhood had passed for them as fast .. and he was still so young ...

Samuel also had inherited his mother 's intellect, was always a good student and was now starting university studies ( Business Management ) .

And despite his youth, he was in love.

Samuel was about to turn 19, and lately, lived more with his girlfriend, Jessie , who at home with their parents.
This circumstance left Sam and Diane again alone in a house, maybe too big but beautiful, which they didn´t want undone.

And that autumn morning, after jogging, father and son back home for a shower.
Then, Samuel told his father, with rashness, something that stunned him.
- Dad, Jessie is pregnant.
At that moment, for Sam stood up the world .
