And you close your eyes. And you think of your forgotten innocence?

Do you remember your very first cry? A heartbreaking cry, which everyone impatiently awaits. Then it became your exclusive expression to mean “I’m hungry, I’m tired, I’m very angry, I want hugs, …”. Very quickly, your first words enlightened me. Of course, it was “dad” and not “mom”, like all children! Your first smiles, bursts of laughter embellished my days and nights.

Our life together has changed everything. An invisible spider has spun its web to bring us together forever, spiritually for sure. So much complicity, sweet moments shared, overwhelming stories, or not! And also quarrels to settle, the very first conflicts to cop with. Oh, not a big deal actually. Just enough to build your character and to show me you exist!

Teenage, what a crossing! One way, obviously. A dead end ? Absolutely not ! It’s time for questioning, student wandering, dashed hopes, beautiful unannounced dates. It’s all of that at once and we are right in the middle of it. You have to know how to juggle, think, discuss, understand, help, support, help one another.

The young woman appeared, very gently, on tiptoe. A goddess with golden hair and bronze reflections delights and enchants me more every day. A rich relationship with exciting twists and turns, with nightmarish episodes, with improbable outcomes, with little things and big things that plan the tortuous and stony path of life generally, ours in particular.

If only you knew… Our adventure has only just begun! The phone is not finished ringing. We have no chance of being bored, of feeling overwhelmed with silence and monotony. Just sometimes we would like a little ease, cheerfulness, lightness. But also carelessness, confidence, ease.

And just like an ocean impossible to cross, a mountain impossible to climb, a stone dam impossible to break, an ordeal impossible to overcome, so just like that, you will be able to find the words, the solutions, the strength, the intelligence, the intuition, the love, the friendship to face life, your life!

And you close your eyes. And you think of your found innocence?
