"Hay there young lady. I have prepared something for you which will be given to you after I leave. That being said I hope you have a good memory."

"You remember how so long ago I told you that you might, might be worthy of learning a recipe that is over a hundred years old and has had 2 lifetimes to be prefected. I am talking about the salsa!"

"Well I am about to whisper it in your ear and I hope that you can remember it because I will not say it twice."

"There. You got that? Do you remember it perfictly? Good never forget it and if you can't find someone that is kind enough to earn it then take it to your grave. Take it to your grave and let it end with you. That is the promise that I made a lifetime ago and now you shall make the very same promise."

"As for the rest of what I will leave you before shoving off to unexplored waters, in my travels I have come across a thousand recipes from just as many cultures. I have been shown such wonders and writen down all that I came across. Inside those books is all that I found over my 84 years of life. They will be yours to do with as you please. It is only the salsa recipe that you must guard."

"Guard it like this!"

A dear friend of mine from long ago once asked me to watch over his 2 children if something were to ever happen to him. He wanted to make sure that they would not be left twisting in the wind and traped alone with no one to care what happened to them.

He died tragically of a heart attack around the age of 57. Gone to soon and the entire world left poorer for his absense. I am if nothing else a man of my word. I made sure they each finished High School. That they went to a good collage. I walked both of his daughters down the isle at their weddings and made sure that they had the drive to go on.

They both became doctors and saved lives. They are dirven and loved what they were doing.

It was not that I loved them that I cared for them so. I promised an old friend to take care of them and that is exactly what I did. I made sure that they could stand on their own two feet and go on to better things then otherwise.

I did my duity as both a man and a friend. I guarded them in the worst time of their lives and they have sense done great things on their own.

That is the weight of a promise, never forget that weight when you choose to take it up.
