Hey.

Soooo... I've been thinking (Ikr such a good thing I'm doing that now), that everybody must love differently right? I guess that no one will fully explain what love feels like because it's different every time.

I think I was in love once, before him of course, but it was very different. I was only 6. Now, how could you be in love then?

I guess that life was different.

He was a very important part of my life as he was the only one that supported me, the only one that was there for me. He was in my life for a very short time, less than an year really.

I won't go into detail because I'd like to keep some for myself, but to celebrate my 7th birthday his parents called mine to organize a party for me in their beach house and they organized the whole thing because they considered themselves my second parents.

So, to fully understand the story you'll need to know that they were rich, his father was a pilot and his mother a flight attendant.

Ok, then on my birthday, my parents left me on my party and went to get the cake and some things that were missing.

His father got an idea: "Hey, as it's not too windy and I have enough fuel to fly for about half an hour, how about we take the hellicopter for a 'drive'?"

As we were kids the idea sounded amazing and we agreed to it without thinking about it.

We jumped right in and started circling around the area of their property and, halfway through it I started to feel sick so Flavio, his father, quickly landed so I'd go out, but both stayed flying. When they got up again I went to the bathroom to pee and, when I came back... well... I.

I just saw it falling down about 15 meters in front of me.

I started crying and screaming and trying get away of my mother's arms that held me tightly so I wouldn't run.

After that it's a blur. A big, tragic filled nightmare.

Just to sum it up, his father managed to not die in the crash but 20 minutes after, in the ambulance headed to the nearest hospital.

For him it was lethal.

For his mother was suicide.

For me is this. Trying to go ahead with my life 'cause I think that's what he'd want for me to do.

Thanks for your time.
