Guillermo got up from his seat and reached for the thermos. He prepared the yerba, shaped the mound, and poured the first mate of the afternoon. Immediately, he thought of his six-year-old son, Pablo, who was just learning to read. He missed him and had bought him a book: a story about a little glowworm that couldn't light its lamp. To recover that light, the insect had to seek help from the other animals in the forest.
Guillermo took a pen and a sheet of paper, sipped his mate, and began to write:
Pablo, because I love you so much, I won't be able to be with you for a while. I'm a bit far from where you are, but I always think of you. I wish we could be together so I could tell you many things.
Guillermo wrote in illegible cursive and wondered whether, when his son grew up, he would have handwriting as messy as his.
Based on the testimony of Pablo Sobrino, son of Guillermo, about the last letter sent by his father.
