Theme song:Give It Up by KC & The Sunshine Band
Hurrah, it's his day off. He lies in the bed and smiles. It's going to be a beautiful Sunday. He smells coffee and pancakes. He hears the kids and the dog. He loves his wife very much. He has her name tattooed on his arm in beautiful letters. Sometimes when he patrols the streets, the dull fear will come back. He got shot once and he doesn't want it to happen again. Too bad it's not up to him. He can only prepare as best as he can. Shit happens, sometimes, no matter what. He's not sure if he really wants to know if there's life after death. He knows he'd hate to leave his family behind. In a few years his eldest child will grow up and leave home for college. In a few years he will wake up to find wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes. In a few years their dear old dog will become a fond memory.
He laughs out softly.
It's such a peaceful morning, and here he is, thinking about life's inevitables. His parents are both in good health. His children are happy, cute, and kind. So far his life has been relatively smooth. He always tries his best to stay calm and carry on when bad things happen. He has witnessed too much. He wants to kiss his wife whenever she whines about something. He wants to cross himself and thank God every time Stephanie's car blows up.
He sits up, stretches, and yawns. He's taking the whole family out for lunch. Every man must die. He will enjoy his shower and breakfast. He will hug and kiss his children, dog, and wife.
He's going to watch some baseball tonight.
