I am astounded by how this is so true for you. Based on the stories you’ve told me, the things you’ve done in the past and how you go on with your life— you live freely.

You know what you want in life and you go for it.

I only got to know you recently yet you have already blessed me with so much; your life experiences, the unsolicited advice, the giving and even your unnecessary boasting sometimes entertain me.

But as much as positive the meaning of Franz is, I’d like to take it deeper.

In the past Franz was selfish, but in his selfishness, he learned to be think of others. He wants people to be better and wiser than he ever was.

Franz. Learns from mistakes and makes sure others won’t make the same mistakes.

I may not have much to say because I have not known you that long, but loving you is not hard. Franz. In the years to come, I know I will be out of words when I’m asked to describe him and thank him.

It has been fun with you this 2013. Thank you that even if we were deprived of time to bond, you opened yourself up to us.

Happy New Year!

Love always,

Kiel
