“What is this? It’s the letter I wrote you 15 years ago, but never had the courage to send.” Manuel read the letter silently, moving with every word. Rodri, why did you keep this? Because I always knew that one day I would need to show it to you so you would know I never forgot you. I never forgot you either, not for a minute. Manu, do you think our story can inspire other people to value their friendships? I’m sure it can. True friendship is rare, but when it exists, it can move mountains.
So, we wrote a book telling our story. Good idea. It might help other people avoid making the same mistakes we did, and it might show that it’s never too late to start over. That night, before going to sleep, Rodrigo called Manuel, who lived next door. Rodrigo had bought the neighboring house for his friend and Carmen. Manu, good night. Good night, Rodri. Good day today, right? Every day is good since you came back into my life. For me too, my friend.
Me too. See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. The two men hung up the phone and went to sleep with a clear conscience, knowing they had lived another day making a difference in the world.
