I sat at the kitchen table cleaning my survival knife. it's true that I gave up the life of a soldier but I never stopped fighting. I have a family I have to protect.

Keade, my new daughter sat up in her cot cooing happily. Her eyes were locked onto mine. I sighed as I stood up and walked over to her.

"Is there something you need?" I asked.

"Ah" she pointed to the knife in my hand.

"Oh this" I gestured to the knife "this is a survival knife. I use it to protect the ones I love"

"Huh?" She tilted her head to the side.

"I'm a soldier" I tried to explain "a soldier exists to protect those who can't protect themselves. I left the army a long time ago so now the people I protect is your mother and.. now I protect you too keade"

"Ma ma" she placed her little hand on my forehead with the most precious smile I've ever seen. It was enough to make my heart swell.

I smiled lovingly as I stroked her cheek "I will protect you my little one now and always. Even at the cost of my own life I'll keep you safe. This must I promise you"

It's my duty as a family soldier.
