About the author
Even in my youth, my best friend’s mother said:
“Child, you have so much imagination, you should be a writer! “
Thoughts, ideas, emotions that want to be expressed are constantly seething in me.
Enthusiasm and passion are facets of my personality.
And if I can touch you with the novel written by myself as it touched me, it would make me very happy!
Preface
The life of a person can change solely through a moment of such great importance that it influences the lives of many others.
A great responsibility is given to such a life. Also, the responsibility for yourself!

The awakening
He woke up in horror and immediately knew: It cannot carry on like this! How did he know? He only knew that he was alive and breathing.
Immediately he stood up and tumbled into the bathroom. He leaned on the sink and for a moment he looked into the mirror. What he observed he didn´t like, not in a long time! That is not me he thought and freshened up with a handful of water, another and another until he could clearly think again. He sat down on the floor and buried his face in his hands. He felt like tears wanted to well up in him and could not really hold them back.
As he sat there, he asked himself, how could it have come to this? When did I lose control? Where has the lively part of me gone which was cheerful, curious, and full of energy? He saw himself walking down the street in his younger days, laughing and fidgeting, full of zest of action. For a brief moment he felt this clarity and certainty again, which he had always felt in himself, when he really wanted something. He briefly opened his eyes; they were full of tears. Immediately afterwards he closed them again and alternately ran his hands over his eyes to dry them. Then he saw his parents in front of him laughing and joking at each other; as his mum laid the table and they ate together. He never stopped missing her! But then he also saw her lying there with her eyes closed when she had already left him. Thiat was the moment everything in his life had changed and he cried. Back then he did not have much time to mourn. He previously had been called up as a soldier. His mother partly lived through his basic training, and it bothered her. Soon after her death he was posted to Germany. He was in the public eye and had to pull himself together. She had always been his support, his motivation. He knew he could count on her one hundred percent. She would have understood, comforted him and built him up. She would not have been able to cope with him feeling so bad because since birth they had a particularly close connection. And nothing had ever changed about that. Suddenly he knew he had to go, he had to get well, and start over. He did not want everyone to worry
