Be there for people,
not because you have to,
or because it is expected of you.
Be there for people because you know what it's like
to have no-one there for you.

Every month Martín’s parents took a trip to see Grandma and came home on the same train the next day.
One day he said to his parents:
“I'm already grown up. Can I go to my grandma's alone?"

After a brief discussion, his parents agreed. They stood with him as he waited for the train to exit.
They said goodbye to their son and gave him some tips through the window.
Martin repeated to them:
“I know. I've been told this more than a thousand times."

As the train was about to leave, his father murmured in his ear:
“Son if you feel bad or insecure, this is for you!"
And he put something in his pocket.

Now Martin was alone, sitting on the train as he had wanted, without his parents for the first time.

He was admiring the landscape out the window. Around him some unknowns pushed themselves in. They made a lot of noise. They got in and out of the train car.
The conductor made some comments about him being alone. One person looked at him with eyes of sadness.

Martin was feeling more uneasy with every minute that passed. And now he was scared. He felt cornered and alone. He put his head down, and with tears in his eyes, he remembered his Dad had put something in his pocket.

Trembling, he searched for what his father had given him.
Upon finding the piece of paper he read it:
“Son, I'm in the last train car!"

That's how life is, we must let our kids go.
We must let them try new things.
But we always like to be in the last car, watching, in case they are afraid or in case they find obstacles and don’t know what to do.
We want to be close to them as long as we are still alive.

“Why do I read?
I just can't help myself.
I read to learn and to grow, to laugh
and to be motivated.
I read to understand things I've never
been exposed to.
I read when I'm crabby, when I've just
said monumentally dumb things to the
people I love.
I read for strength to help me when I
feel broken, discouraged, and afraid.
I read when I'm angry at the whole
world.
I read when everything is going right.
I read to find hope.
I read because I'm made up not just of
skin and bones, of sights, feelings,
and a deep need for chocolate, but I'm
also made up of words.
Words describe my thoughts and what's
hidden in my heart.
Words are alive--when I've found a
story that I love, I read it again and
again, like playing a favorite song
over and over.
Reading isn't passive--I enter the
story with the characters, breathe
their air, feel their frustrations,
scream at them to stop when they're
about to do something stupid, cry with
them, laugh with them.
Reading for me, is spending time with a
friend.
A book is a friend.
You can never have too many.”
