When I was fifteen, I dropped out of school and went to Buenos Aires to play football. My father didn't approve of my decision. You're nothing when you've learned nothing. My parents had always wanted me to be something; respectable, reasonable.
"You're giving your mother pain," my father used to chide me, looking up into the sky. "She's crying up there."
Looking back, I'm sorry for causing my mother in Heaven sadness, but I'm not sorry for leaving. If she could see me now, she'd be looking down on me with a smile on her face, I'm sure of it.
