I need 20 years more

I need 20 years more.

1. To see Elías get to 20 and teach him all that I know.
2. To secure the finances for my family.
3. To spend some more holidays with them - to go back to Costa Brava. To go back to Plazza Navona and The Sistine Chapel. To go back to Paris. To have Viennese cafe in Cafe Flor. To bring you on that boat in the Pond of The Swiss.
4. To make ELIAS a success.
5. To look afther the new one.
6. To write that book.
7. To write that book.

I am already satisfied. I don't need anything else for me. But it would be a waste if I didn't make myself useful for them.

Elías,

You'll have to grow up faster. When you get to 39, you'll be the same age I am now. I hope you feel as fulfilled as I am now. Life is short. Most of the things you're worrying about right now won't matter much in the long run. Don't judge things by the its importance to the public but to your own values.

I've visited a thousands of homes in London. From council flats to those mansions in Hamstead. 90% of lives are lived with the same problems. Don't be startrucked by material.

Papa

If I can't get 20, I'll settle for 10.
