The tree of strength

As many of you know already, my father is deceased. I want to dedicate this last letter, that letter.

Hi Dad, I want to tell you something

. You see, there is an old legend that a traveler went to a distant country with the intention to learn more about the species of trees and plants that were there. He was surprised when the villager who spoke of the different trees, suddenly named "tree fort", while it showed. Could not have understood that that tree could be related to power, grandeur and strength. He was not tall, neither big nor its trunk had a special thickness. The wood did not seem especially hard.
- Why is it well known that tree? Asked the traveler.
- It's simple, "said the villager. It is the only tree able to sprout their flowers when everything is covered with snow.

As in the legend, you have been for us a real "tree of strength." Because despite how hard (sometimes extremely) that has been your life, you have always tried to find how to excite and bring a smile to those around you. Since we also always clear that very little needed to be happy and satisfied.

That does not mean that you saw or recognized the difficulties, or you stay with a naive and
unreal life. Quite the contrary, has known hardship and hard examples of how hurtful and cruel humans can be with their peers. Maybe that's why you sometimes accompanied distrust those who understood that they were not "of yours."

However, you always prevailed in the hope, not based on naivety, but in will and in that faith that has always struck rock all that you tried.

I have often asked for the reason that caused the disease and continued to face restrictions on so bloody one, the culmination of a life with many disappointments. Probably someone had to show us what a true "tree of the fortress, making your flowers sprout tirelessly every day in the midst of a world that seems so many times covered with snow of despair. And you, you offered to do so, quietly, as always, to anything that others might need you.

Thanks Dad, for being our "tree of strength."

Farewell.
