Leticia: I remember writing letters to my father.
Ze: I think you were about ten years old when you wrote to me. You didn’t know how to write well until you were ten.
Ze Jr: I never wrote to my father, it was always mom who wrote. I would tell her to write that I missed him.
Ze: But you also told me to send you things you wanted.
Ze Jr: Yes, guess I asked for toys...

Hello my dear wife. Hugs from me. In the first place I hope that all is good for you. Things are good for him. Look I would like to say that you are not writing to me and that I am worried. I am sending 25.000,00 for you.
Because here we are making very little and for today this is all. I am having very bad thoughts.
I end tis card with a strong hug for you and the children. Say hello to all those who ask about me.

Manuel sends best regards for you and the children.

Look Jose, I didn’t go see a doctor. And I am feeling a loss of vision. This burning in my eyes is too much. I doesn't stop. I know what I need to do, but for me, to go see a doctor is really difficult because I need to stay in the city for one week and I cant because of the children don’t have anyone else to stay with them. You mother is only caring for your father and doesn’t even want to know about the children, nor your sister’s children....
