After several minutes of deliberation I went in. At a desk sata middle aged lady who was much overweight. "How can I help you?" shesaid. I told her I ...had an appointment and that several days ago I hademailed details of the tattoos I wanted done. "Ah Yes. I remember youspoke to me. Because the tattoos are, shall we say, a little unusual,you wanted to know if we would do them. As long as you are over 25, ofsound mind and sign the relevant paperwork we will do virtuallyanything. You are of sound. In addition,Rainer tried to call him almost every half hour (somehow he had gottenhis mobile phone number ? anyhow better than his home number). He didnot answer the calls neither did he listen to the messages on his voicemail. Then he was flooded by SMS and he had to make sure that theyarrived without his classmates recognizing let alone reading them. Thesewere SMS from a desperate lover. He did not answer them either. All thisattention from Rainer did not help to forget the last weekend. Then. She had fixed my hair for me, painted my face and nails and also assigned a lady's maid to me."You look beautiful."My sister hugged me warmly before giving me a little sisterly kiss on each cheek."Thanks. It feels so right being a woman." You make a better woman anyway, little sister."My brother then hugged me."Thank you, big brother." I murmured. "I feel so much more myself. I hope I meet a husband who's as nice and manly as you one day." My daughter."My father hugged me and then took my. He has the heart of a Lion and the constitution of a Rhinoceros. Through all of this he has endured, not once did he ever say, why me, it was always, why not me? Not once did he become angry and bitter as so many like him do. Most of all he still approaches life with a sense of wonderment. He told me the gift of life was far too precious to squander and for all of these things, I love him more than I ever thought it possible to love any man”. With that, she left the room, the conversation.
