La Nave - Ruthless
My father never had the custom of giving any kind of present during festivities, nonetheless when I turned 10, he gave me a present and inside resided a book that would keep me company the rest of my life. Some would say that it was a self-fulfilled prophecy, as inside my dad had written: “Read this book and refrain, let your life go by and read it again and then you will understand that the message which dwells within this book is both personally evolving and timeless”. Of course I was young and didn’t understand, nor was I in any kind of plan of following the instructions, but I did read it and had to refrain. Needless to say it changed my views on life. Afterwards the book was left untouched for years until I moved out from my parents’ house and found it while unpacking. And as it turned out the book had changed and so had I, my views on life were challenged again by the static words of the book. I continued thereafter reading it, probably after every major change in my life and to my surprise it would always make a difference.
I look back and I’m sure it was my dad talking to me through the book, but I’m here at the very end of my days and after just dropping the book I realize how different it is now that she is gone. I write to you, my heir, because you never got to meet any of them and probably you will be the only human being that will ever want to listen to this. I know this in the only way you can really understand things, the hard way. Had my closest friend said something else! But he didn’t and well, regretfully his answer was – This is nothing but a blessing that came far too late in your life.
The sorrow which overtook me after reading the book and internalizing that she is lost, and gone forever, leaves me breathless and desolated. I am exhausted physically and psychologically, faced with nothing but the foggy remembrance of a joyful and lovely life, which has already gone by. Which despite the powerlessness that I have to face on the remainder of my days I can only hope to bring back enough from my forgetful and worn out mind for you to elucidate the story of your family. Hopefully then when the waters have finally receded, and you get off the ship your life will be part of a story larger than your own.

Muy bien, señor Stevenson.
