dear &nbsp;son &nbsp;kaue...

yes... &nbsp; once &nbsp;you &nbsp;told &nbsp;me... &nbsp;sometime &nbsp;ago… 
that &nbsp;you &nbsp;enjoy &nbsp;reading &nbsp;the &nbsp;newspaper &nbsp;while...
you &nbsp;are &nbsp;eating &nbsp;your &nbsp;little-nice-sandwich &nbsp;during &nbsp;lunch-time…

that’s &nbsp;a &nbsp;very &nbsp;good &nbsp;habit… &nbsp;my &nbsp;son…
it’s &nbsp;a &nbsp;moment… &nbsp;where &nbsp;you &nbsp;can &nbsp;relax…
disconnect &nbsp;yourself &nbsp;from &nbsp;the &nbsp;worries…
and… &nbsp; simply &nbsp;savor &nbsp;your &nbsp;lunch…
distracting &nbsp;yourself… 
as &nbsp;you &nbsp;read &nbsp;the &nbsp;newspaper &nbsp;articles &nbsp;that &nbsp;you’re &nbsp;interested &nbsp;on…

I &nbsp;found &nbsp;it &nbsp;very &nbsp;wise &nbsp;the &nbsp;text &nbsp;that &nbsp;you &nbsp;forwarded &nbsp;to &nbsp;me:

…” I &nbsp;saw &nbsp;an &nbsp;article &nbsp;of &nbsp;a &nbsp;person &nbsp;who &nbsp;was &nbsp;saying &nbsp;that 
everyday &nbsp;in &nbsp;his &nbsp;life &nbsp;is &nbsp;a &nbsp;good &nbsp;day…
you &nbsp;wake &nbsp;up &nbsp;and &nbsp;see &nbsp;the &nbsp;daylight , this &nbsp;is &nbsp;already &nbsp;a &nbsp;good &nbsp;day ,
you &nbsp;breathe &nbsp;the &nbsp;air , &nbsp;this &nbsp;is &nbsp;a &nbsp;good &nbsp;day… 
at &nbsp;the &nbsp;end &nbsp;he &nbsp;says &nbsp;that &nbsp;we &nbsp;complain &nbsp;too &nbsp;much &nbsp;about &nbsp;life &nbsp;without &nbsp;appreciating &nbsp;it &nbsp;,
because &nbsp;life &nbsp;is &nbsp;too &nbsp;short. 
One &nbsp;day &nbsp;you &nbsp;are &nbsp;happily &nbsp;here &nbsp;and &nbsp;next &nbsp;day &nbsp;you &nbsp;are &nbsp;dead… 
so &nbsp;enjoy &nbsp;it &nbsp;as &nbsp;much &nbsp;as &nbsp;possible!...”

--- &nbsp; --- &nbsp; ---

I &nbsp;also &nbsp;like &nbsp;this &nbsp;kind &nbsp;of &nbsp;wisdom…
indeed… &nbsp;very &nbsp;often &nbsp;many &nbsp;of &nbsp;us &nbsp;forget &nbsp;to &nbsp;appreciate &nbsp;certain &nbsp;basic &nbsp;things…
like… &nbsp;for &nbsp;instance &nbsp;the &nbsp;capacity &nbsp;to &nbsp;have &nbsp;a &nbsp;normal &nbsp;vision…
to &nbsp;be &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;see &nbsp;the &nbsp;objects…

have &nbsp;we &nbsp;ever &nbsp;thought &nbsp;about &nbsp;a &nbsp;blind &nbsp;person… 
who &nbsp;could &nbsp;suddenly &nbsp;be &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;see &nbsp;normally…?
could &nbsp;we &nbsp;ever &nbsp;imagine &nbsp;a &nbsp;better &nbsp;reward &nbsp;than &nbsp;this &nbsp;one…?

or… &nbsp;if &nbsp;a &nbsp;person &nbsp;has &nbsp;serious &nbsp;chronic &nbsp;respiratory &nbsp;problems…
be &nbsp;able &nbsp;to… &nbsp;suddenly &nbsp;get &nbsp;better… 
and… &nbsp;be &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;breathe &nbsp;the &nbsp;pure &nbsp;air… &nbsp;normally…?

I &nbsp;really &nbsp;liked &nbsp;this &nbsp;newspaper &nbsp;article…

you &nbsp;write &nbsp;well…
it &nbsp;was &nbsp;thanks &nbsp;to &nbsp;your &nbsp;email…
that &nbsp;I’ve &nbsp;been &nbsp;thinking &nbsp;about &nbsp;what &nbsp;you &nbsp;wrote…

not &nbsp;only &nbsp;about &nbsp;the &nbsp;article &nbsp;itself…
( the &nbsp;beauty… &nbsp;the &nbsp;wisdom &nbsp;of &nbsp;the &nbsp;article )…
but &nbsp;also…
your &nbsp;sensibility…
to &nbsp;be &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;realize… &nbsp;that &nbsp;the &nbsp;article &nbsp;was &nbsp;special…
that &nbsp;the &nbsp;article &nbsp;was &nbsp;bringing &nbsp;a &nbsp;message &nbsp;of &nbsp;wisdom…

and &nbsp;I… &nbsp;as &nbsp;I &nbsp;was &nbsp;reading &nbsp;your &nbsp;email…
I... &nbsp;became &nbsp;happy…
happy &nbsp;to &nbsp;confirm &nbsp;what &nbsp;I &nbsp;knew &nbsp;already…
that &nbsp;you… &nbsp;taue… &nbsp;is &nbsp;a &nbsp;good &nbsp;guy…
a &nbsp;calm &nbsp;guy…
simple…
who &nbsp;just &nbsp;want &nbsp;to &nbsp;be &nbsp;in &nbsp;peace…
to &nbsp;find &nbsp;your &nbsp;place &nbsp;in &nbsp;the &nbsp;world…
without &nbsp;disturbing &nbsp;anybody…
without &nbsp;being &nbsp;disturbed…

to &nbsp;be &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;read &nbsp;your &nbsp;little-newspaper… &nbsp;at &nbsp;lunch-break-time…
to &nbsp;be &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;savor &nbsp;an &nbsp;article &nbsp;from &nbsp;the &nbsp;newspaper…
where &nbsp;there &nbsp;exists &nbsp;a &nbsp;message &nbsp;which &nbsp;reveals &nbsp;a &nbsp;regard &nbsp;about &nbsp;life…
a &nbsp;pure &nbsp;regard… &nbsp;of &nbsp;peace… &nbsp;of &nbsp;wisdom…
of &nbsp;gratefulness… &nbsp;for &nbsp;being &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;be &nbsp;healthy…
so &nbsp;we &nbsp;can &nbsp;see &nbsp;the &nbsp;colors…
and &nbsp;breathe &nbsp;the &nbsp;morning &nbsp;air…

yes… &nbsp; &nbsp;my &nbsp;son…
from &nbsp;this &nbsp;life… &nbsp;we &nbsp;don’t &nbsp;take &nbsp;too &nbsp;much…
we &nbsp;only &nbsp;leave &nbsp;in &nbsp;the &nbsp;memory &nbsp;of &nbsp;these &nbsp;few &nbsp;people &nbsp;who &nbsp;really &nbsp;like &nbsp;us…
we &nbsp;leave &nbsp;with &nbsp;them… &nbsp;only &nbsp;our &nbsp;tenderness…
our &nbsp;words &nbsp;of &nbsp;kindness &nbsp;and &nbsp;friendship…

and… &nbsp;not &nbsp;too &nbsp;much &nbsp;beyond &nbsp;that…

the &nbsp;sun… &nbsp;like &nbsp;all &nbsp;other &nbsp;stars &nbsp;in &nbsp;the &nbsp;universe…
will &nbsp;extinguish &nbsp;itself &nbsp;one &nbsp;day…
( since &nbsp;the &nbsp;fuel &nbsp;that &nbsp;it &nbsp;burns… &nbsp;is &nbsp;not &nbsp;infinite…)
( it’s &nbsp;going &nbsp;to &nbsp;happen &nbsp;many &nbsp;billions &nbsp;of &nbsp;years &nbsp;in &nbsp;the &nbsp;future…
&nbsp; &nbsp;the &nbsp;scientists &nbsp;already &nbsp;calculated &nbsp;it…)

when &nbsp;this &nbsp;day &nbsp;comes…
our &nbsp;dear &nbsp;planet &nbsp;earth…
will &nbsp;become &nbsp;an &nbsp;ice &nbsp;ball…
( since &nbsp;there’s &nbsp;no &nbsp;more &nbsp;sun &nbsp;to &nbsp;warm &nbsp;her &nbsp;up…)

and… &nbsp;so… &nbsp;there &nbsp;will &nbsp;be &nbsp;no &nbsp;living &nbsp;soul &nbsp;here…
not &nbsp;even &nbsp;to &nbsp;tell &nbsp;the &nbsp;history &nbsp;of &nbsp;mankind…

so… &nbsp;the &nbsp;newspaper &nbsp;article &nbsp;did &nbsp;make &nbsp;a &nbsp;lot &nbsp;of &nbsp;sense:
let’s &nbsp;be &nbsp;thankful &nbsp;each &nbsp;day &nbsp;in &nbsp;the &nbsp;morning &nbsp;for &nbsp;being &nbsp;alive…
for &nbsp;being &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;open &nbsp;our &nbsp;eyes &nbsp;and &nbsp;see &nbsp;the &nbsp;daylight…
for &nbsp;being &nbsp;able &nbsp;to &nbsp;take &nbsp;a &nbsp;deep &nbsp;breath… &nbsp;and &nbsp;feel &nbsp;the &nbsp;fresh &nbsp;morning &nbsp;air…
&nbsp; 
and &nbsp;also… &nbsp;to &nbsp;relate &nbsp;with &nbsp;everyone &nbsp;who &nbsp;surrounds &nbsp;us…
in &nbsp;the &nbsp;most &nbsp;gentle &nbsp;and &nbsp;truthful &nbsp;possible &nbsp;way…
so &nbsp;that… &nbsp;whenever &nbsp;we &nbsp;go &nbsp;to &nbsp;the &nbsp;other &nbsp;dimension…
we &nbsp;can &nbsp;be &nbsp;sure &nbsp;that &nbsp;we &nbsp;left &nbsp;here &nbsp;on &nbsp;Earth…
only &nbsp;good &nbsp;memories…
with &nbsp;everyone &nbsp;who &nbsp;really &nbsp;wants &nbsp;us… &nbsp;truly &nbsp;well…

see &nbsp;you &nbsp;soon… &nbsp;my &nbsp;son…
keep &nbsp;being &nbsp;like &nbsp;that…
you’re &nbsp;realizing &nbsp;what &nbsp;is &nbsp;really &nbsp;important &nbsp;in &nbsp;life…
it’s &nbsp;the &nbsp;purity &nbsp;of &nbsp;spirit…
the &nbsp;peace &nbsp;of &nbsp;conscience…
to &nbsp;be &nbsp;aware &nbsp;that &nbsp;you &nbsp;are &nbsp;gentle &nbsp;and &nbsp;good &nbsp;towards &nbsp;everyone…

briefly… &nbsp;a &nbsp;good &nbsp;man…
a &nbsp;person &nbsp;with &nbsp;a &nbsp;good &nbsp;heart…

I’m &nbsp;happy &nbsp;to &nbsp;know &nbsp;that &nbsp;you’re &nbsp;like &nbsp;that…
because &nbsp;I’m &nbsp;also &nbsp;like &nbsp;that…
and… &nbsp;thanks &nbsp;to &nbsp;this…
I &nbsp;can &nbsp;feel &nbsp;that &nbsp;God &nbsp;protects &nbsp;me…

and… &nbsp;naturally &nbsp;will &nbsp;be &nbsp;protecting &nbsp;you &nbsp;too…
why…?
because &nbsp;you &nbsp;are &nbsp;a &nbsp;person &nbsp;with &nbsp;good &nbsp;heart…

see &nbsp;you &nbsp;soon…
thankyou &nbsp;for &nbsp;your &nbsp;email…
it &nbsp;was &nbsp;very &nbsp;good…

a &nbsp;hug…
tighted…
your &nbsp;father…
