When I was a young man,

I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it.

Many decades would pass before I understood its meaning of all three.

And now, in the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contenment.

Love, Liberty, and Time...once so disposable...
are the fuels that drives me forward. And love was the especially my dear.

For you, our children, our brothers and sisters, and the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing

endless affection for you, Sofia
