My youngest is 15. We had a lovely early dinner at one of her favorite restaurants, Sunflower. I drove there from Raul's bedside. Sitting with a dying friend younger than his years (67) and then sitting next to a beautiful child older than her years (who still calls me Daddy) is a very strange experience. Raul and Julia don't know each other at all. I am their only glue so only I can tell their mutual stories. In many ways they are similar people. Individuals with huge hearts, brave people who think far beyond themselves. They are two people with big eyes, eyes that see and feel and make you feel seen and heard. I hope somehow I get the chance to introduce them before Raul dies.
Here is a lovely photo of Raul and his partner Tony, now married!
