Dear Mathias — 12 Mar 2021

Twenty-two years ago, I was in the clouds, walking 1m above the ground, with a wide smile on my face, and couldn’t stop looking at you. I had just become a proud dad, and have grown prouder as the years went by.

Proud of your sensitivity and kindness, proud of your multiple talents and achievements, proud of your commitment and responsibility, proud of the young man you have become. The world is a better place with you in it.
