Letter I
"The absence of a loved one always hurts." Louane.
Tonight, as I came in the house at usual hour, I saw you, all jovial, all happy, all smiling, preparing for this great journey.
Forbidden and stumed, I have fixed my gaze on you, and on this suitcase where you belongings are carefull stored. Your mother's too.
My eyes are moistened. I wanted to instinctively take you in may arms, kiss you loudly.
I wanted to tell you that I cannot imagine you leaving for a foreign country and living forever, that your absence will an unbreakable emptiness.
Seeing you happy, I preferred to keep silent, rather than bother you with questions that will be useless to you.
I wouldn't dare, my Treasure. I am aware that this departure (Trip) is a dream that has haunted you for a long time, a hope that you harbored day by day, and whatever my sadness to see you pack up, whatever my pain to see you gain momentum towards another continent, I can only submit, and pray for you all the time.
May God protect you my heart.
Your father
