Dear friend Brian

More than a friend, you are a brother to me, and I will never have enough words that
can explain how grateful I am to have been blessed with your friendship.

Difficult times knew how to squeeze my throat, bury me under the rubble; Every one
of the demons that was chasing me knew exactly where to find me.

At one point I found myself trapped and without a way out, or maybe just one way out,
the easiest one, that of cowards: I thought I would have to die to escape my problems.

In that same moment you appeared, you and that immense raft called friendship, and
you picked me up from the cold sea, I was more dead than alive, and you knew how
to give me water and bread and calm my tremors and make the demons go away.

I clung to you like a desperate man, without delicacies; I was like crazy and just
wanted to save me. Only time later I could thank you and give you back for the
incredible show of nobility and friendship you had with me.

The truth is that I don't know what I would have done without you, without your
advice and without your support. Life seemed very difficult to bear it only but with
your help and your love I have managed to get ahead and laugh again and enjoy
things.

Your friendship, my friend, was a great lesson that I learned suddenly, but it was the
deepest and most wonderful knowledge that has ever entered my life.

Helping the one who is fallen is a noble and pure feeling in this world of indifference
and horror, and that was exactly what you did with me, you raised me, and you not
only raised me, but also taught me to walk again.

Even saying all this, I didn't even manage to express half of what I feel for you, my
friend, but I rehearse these words in the absence of any other way to prove it. I had
never written a letter to a friend but to tell the truth I had never met a friend like you.
Eternally grateful
Lupita
