I see you get on the truck ...
And leave.
I cry ...
Because every time it is difficult for me.
But you with patience and sweetness try to cheer me up ...
Try to console me ...
Even if you don't always succeed.
With a lump in your throat you try to smile at me ...
A tear falls quickly ...
But you quickly dry it ...
Pretending nothing happened.
I cannot fully understand your reasons.
I cannot understand the dangers you will encounter.
The only thing I know is that you are far away ...
Away from me.
I'm scared...
Everyday...
And every night.
I don't know where you are ...
And I don't know if you're okay ...
This is my constant thought.
Time will pass.
Once a little ...
Another more ...
To see you again.
Your every return will be a party for me ...
And a relief.
I'll have you next to me again ...
Until the next time.
Be patient Dad ...
Just just a baby.
Small to understand your sacrifice ...
That your work has imposed on you ...
And I know you wouldn't ask me either.
But now that I'm big,
I understand what you've been through ...
And I beg your pardon.
For all the times I've been angry ...
And I hurt you.
Now you deserve a thank you ...
And all the good I'm capable of.
Even if you were far away,
I know you never stopped ...
Neither to think of me ...
Ne of Loving Me.
Away from me...
You sacrificed Us ...
But you thought of me.
To never miss anything ...
To give me a future ...
And a life as peaceful as possible.
Thank you for this...
Thanks Dad.
