I forget to tell you what an amazing story this is. Thank you for baring your soul in front of us, I can feel the love all the way from Portugal. My father and grandfather also awakened a love for birds in me. No matter how crappy I feel, birds always make me feel better.
I love that necklace/ medallion and hereby send you loads of good vibes,
Vincent
P.S. my dad has been suffering from progressive long fibrosis since the Summer of 2018 ( around the time I moved to Portugal ). He has always been in the back of my mind ( already since suffering a cardiac arrest in 2009, when I first moved out of the Country, to Madrid ) and his weak health has made it difficult to choose my own path. I'm not blaming him for it, it's just a concern as family is very important to me.
Thank you so much Vincent! That really touched my heart to read.
