Dear Ferdinand,
your name means bravery. It means adventurous. It also means ardent voyager.
Your soul has already taken off, flying off to other stars, traveling all alone. My brave little boy. Mama and papa wishes they could come along… …
We listened to the creek this morning together for the last time, I hope that sound accompanies you on all your journeys. Mama will miss you terribly.
Today will be your birthday for us. It will be beautiful. I will finally get to hold you and see you.
Love and heartaches,
mama
