Son, I want you to listen to me.
I have something important to say

Yes dad

No son, really listen.
Come, sit next to me.

Ok dad

I’m not young like you, but I was once.

I know dad. If this is about the…

No son It’s not. You promised to listen.

Sorry dad…

Well, can you see I’m aging?
I’m not the same as I was before.

You look great for your age

Yes?
How old am I?

You are 10?

No son, I’m over 100 years old.

Like I said dad, you look great for your age.

In my life I have seen a lot of things.
I’ve seen a rainbow after a storm.
I’ve seen clouds that took a swim in the ocean.
I’ve seen divers find treasures only to die of sunburn.
I’ve seen captains risk their lives to save a whale and others risk a whale to save their lives.
My son, I’ve seen a lot.
Every wrinkle, every stain of rust, every hole in my crumbling body is something I’ve seen and learned.

I know dad… can I go now?

Son, you promised me you listen, will you keep your promise?

Yes dad.

Well, after all I’ve seen there is one thing I know.

What’s that dad?

I’ve learned I know nothing.
I can’t explain, and I can’t predict anything.
Life is a big storm, and we must assume we can drown in any minute.

I don’t understand.
If I know nothing, how do I know that?

Now son,
Now I know you were listening.

I think it’s my time to go.

Gilad, my friend I love you.
You are far but you are so close. You are different but so similar. I feel you as a part of myself, I feel you as an essential part of my own world, I feel you as my real Brother. Looking again and again at this picture and reading these wonderful words, I'm just thinking that you are giving us the most wonderful presents we can imagine by sharing your works and thoughts here. You are a gentleman.
Gilad, my friend I love you.
