A different world

I was knocked out for half of the day today. My head was burning, my body was shaking, and I felt  awkward and weak. It was impossible to join school today. Hope it wont become worse.

When I finally got up, I was told by one of the other students in the house that there had been found a bomb in a dropped bag at the main station, which is right opposite of my school. The station and the area around had to be evacuated for hours. Luckily the bomb squad was able to deactivate it.

When I heard about the whole story I couldn't believe it right away, it sounded so surreal. But then I realized that I was not anymore in my country. This here is different. This is Europe. Everything can happen here. So why shouldn't it be possible that my dream becomes true here?!"

Later, right at the time when I was thinking about to prepare my dinner, my German brother Phil-Matyce (10yrs) asked me:
 "Xavier, are you hungry?" - "Yes." - "Don´t worry, I´ll cook for you." - "Nice, okay, I will cook for you tomorrow then." - "No,no, I will do that for you again..."
It surprised me somehow, why this kid wanted to make me feel comfortable. He sensed that I wasn't feeling well. I was realizing, that family does not necessary has to be by blood... family is where you feel safe... where the people around you make you feel special... and of course, where you feel loved.
As I once read: "You don´t choose family. They are God´s gift to you, as you are to them!"
