Remarks

These two handsome guys are my sons. Rafael (left) is 25 and Luiz Felipe (right) is 22. They are wonderful kids and I have thousands of reasons for being proud of them.Thank you both for having been so supportive, ever!
Muito obrigada, meus filhos, do fundo do meu coração.
I received this text from a friend of mine when I was living in Philadelphia and my sons were in Brazil. I read it and cried so badly that finally I realized: if other person had written that, I wasn't alone at all. There were other parents feeling the same guilt, emptiness and impotence than me. This text shook me up when I needed that the most. I believe that it was what my friend intended. I'm very thankful to him and I'd like to share it with you.
Also this song settled an important moment in my life. When I was taking the TOEFL test I was really insecure. Fifteen months before the test I was not able to speak more than a couple of words in English. I had studied at home since I couldn't afford an English course and it was not that easy to learn a foreign language all by myself. I had to write an essay and the theme was something like "Do you think that a song can change people's lives?". There was my line! I wrote about this song saying how "I found the greatest love of all inside of me" fighting for a scholarship in the USA. I've got it!
