Well,
if you see this, it means I'm not here any more...
...and that you received this box at a suitable time
to better understand things and draw your own conclusions.
The fact is that my life has always been a bit complicated.
Since birth I have been like this.
Please, Dad! Let me out! Please!
Please, Dad! Let me out!
Because of my condition, my father and I ... we had our differences.
Dad, I'm cold.
I'm cold.
He thought he was paying his sins with me.
That never changed.
Pedro, come back here!
Pedro! Pedro!
You might even think I had fun when I got here.
Think about the advantages of being me in a big city like this.
Being able to get anywhere without paying anything.
Being able to walk safe at night.
But the truth is that we only learns these tricks after a long time.
And a kid living alone in the capital...
can not say it was too easy.
I spent my days looking for something to eat.
And when the hunger gave a truce
I tried to inform myself about the things of life.
But fear and mistrust followed me too.
When you are like that, indifference is part of everyday life.
But sometimes, almost never
some people see our differences with other eyes.
This looks great.
Are you sure you do not want to eat anything at all?
I do not eat in public. I always scare people. You know that.
I made that tattoo I told you about.
Really? Let me see.
Why would someone tattoo an lying eight on the neck?
It's not an lying eight, you silly. It is the symbol of infinity.
I know. I'm just kidding.
It's what I wish for tonight, for it to last forever.
Your tattoo looks beautiful, Amanda.
I wish I could see your face.
You can feel it.
She had the most beautiful smile in the world.
It's a shame they were getting rarer and rarer after our wedding.
You think Vini is not your son because he's not a monster like his father.
The fights were repeated all the time. Increasingly ugly to see.
Maybe you do not remember.
I failed sometimes as a father and as a husband, but this is life.
We separated
and your mother forbade me to see you.
She was kinf of right, but that did not stop me from continuing around.
But it did not last long either.
No! No! No!
That day, you are invisible to me.
I looked for you everywhere. Every day. For a long time.
I looked at every face of the city looking for a clue, a sign
but I never found you.
I have not seen you for eight years.
Eight years is a long time to stay away from the one you love.
I do not know if you're going to see this one day, but I wanted an opportunity to tell you two things.
First:
do not blame your mother for anything, she always did and will do what is best for you.
And second:
you were the best thing that happened to me.
And if one day you have the opportunity to be a good father...
INVISIBLE
