This friend I have is special, whilst young,

intelligent and righteous. He lives with
me since he was born, a pleasure to have
all these years.The strength to face each
day can sometimes be drawn from
knowing him.

When I watch him dribble around with the

ball at the street soccer court then
knocking it into the goal leaving the
opponent frustrated there is unspeakable
pride and joy emitting from the core of my
heart. How this fine young man has grown
from a novice soccer player just three
years ago to a forwarder that instill fear
to defenders who have to mark him. A
elusive player who pass his opponent
with ease and elegant he can match the
highest standard of the land.

The fond memories of the time we spend

together still lingers in my mind. Bringing
him to the movies, watching him fight
with his sisters still sits in my mind. When
he is younger, he never kept still and
even climb out of the cradle that is meant
to restrain him. That is when he is only
two years old and that time nearly got a
spanking from his grand mother.

The coolest transformation is his hair. It

uses to be always gelled and groomed
into the "curry puff" look that is the
trademark look that signifies his
childhood days. Curry puff is a local
snacks that has ultra ordinary puff when
fried. Youth has robbed away that and
reinstall a new image to befit the modern
time. The "anime" type spike hairstyle is
now the replacement. Skinny jeans with a
smart tee shirts is the order of the day
when he needs to go for a outing. While I
would prefer him to be in long sleeved
shirt and a business pant, his peer may
feel out of place with this sort of strange
outfit.

Our favorite chat always centered on his

favorite Barclay Premier League Club
Chelsea and my Manchester United
Football Club. Our exchange on the
matter can turn into a feisty with each
not giving way to the other. Glorified
Manchester United has done it once
again but the arrival of Ancelloti this
season and the departure of Christano
Ronaldo has up the challenge for the
rivals.

Every weekend is spent at the soccer

field where we conduct soccer lessons
for children under ten. He is my coach
while I am his manager and together we
managed to keep soccer alive for these
kids who showed up every weekend. Our
effort has rewarded us with two
championship through the years and the
greatest pride is the one that Chris has
played in.

Chris is more of a friend than a son, we

spend our time together like most friends
do. I am proud of him both as a friend and
a son.
