Epilogue

-17 years later-

Alicia

I'm in front of his grave and place a wreath there.

 I sit there in front of grave, smiling sadly. 

-It's been 17 years since you left us, you know dad tells me day by day I look a little bit more like you. Since you are no longer there, dad has become super protective with me, he goes to work and spends most of his time there trying to stop thinking about your death, but he can't. I must admit that he drinks sometimes to forget, it shows that he really loved you. And I also wanted to tell you that a very famous art gallery in Rome, exhibited some of your drawings, I'm so happy that this gallery is shared your talent with people who are passionate about art, just like me. I sent my admixtion to a very famous shool in Venice, I decided to be an artist just like you.

 Today is my birthday I would like you mom to be there to give dad's the beautiful smile back because when a photo of you in a frame in his office, his eyes sparkle a thousand and one but unfortunately sad. In short, when you can see it from up there I'me seventeen now. I became a young girl who does not let me tread on my feet when Mia taught me so well and I had a little help from my big brother that can exist in the world. Mia is also the best big sister in the world, but I prefer Henry.  Henry and Mia sent me a pendant in the sun and the moon from London, I love it. But the most beautiful gift is one that Dad gave me, a letter that you wrote with your own hands for me. I have not yet dared to read it, I wanted to come here and read it here with you.

 I take the letter in my pocket, unfold it and start reading : 

" My darling Alicia,

If you read this letter it is because I am no longer of this world, I'm sure you have become very pretty. Your brother, sister and you are the best things that have ever happened to me in life. I am happy to have met your father, it is thanks to him that I felt loved, I felt more alive and happy because my life before was full of sad and meloncolic. I had experienced things that a child should not experience.

In my opinion, love is the most beautiful feeling that a human being should feel. And I am sure that you too will find love because we do notchoose who we love but it is the heart that chooses. My heart chose Miguel your father, the love of my life. I ask you to pursue your dreams no matter what, never give up.

 Find your voice, I'm sorry to have written you a single letter to express all the hapiness that your father, your brother, your sister and you that you represented in my life, I'm still crying with joy so because I'm happy to have found the love and joy of being a mother at my age.  

One day you will fall but one day you will see it too. If you need me, you just have to roll your eyes.

Never forget that I love you my little princess ! 

                                                                   Your mom who loves you ❤ "   

I read his letter over and over again, when I finished I noticed that tears were running down my cheeks. My mother knew that her passage in this world was just for me, to guide me towards new things and to teach my father the joy of loving and being loved in return. She died at 21, it's so unfair ! I ask why God did this ? But I will probably never know. My mother wrote that I had to pursue my dreams whatever and that is what I am going for that memory.
