To my daughter Marika!

A long time ago
I had asked god and his angels
to take very good care of you
and watch over you.

They had twice the work
with me not being there
with you...
all the time.

To symbolize that,
I gave you
a guardian angel gold pendant.

May you always listen
to your inner voice
that comes from
your soul and your heart.

Through many silent prayers
I asked god to guard you
from all bad things,
and for you to have faith
in the almighty god.

Trust in yourself...!
He is asleep in the rock of ages,
breathing in the plants,
and dreaming in the animals,
but awake
in humanity.
