- De todas as vezes que aqui te vier visitar vou trazer este caderno, até que um dia me deixes desenhar.
- E porque me queres desenhar?
- Porque gosto de registar no meu caderno as pessoas de quem mais gosto.
- Não quero que me desenhes neste lugar, nem com este pijama.
- Mas eu posso-te desenhar só a ti, sem desenhar o lugar. E posso trocar esse pijama por uma t-shirt preta dos Iron Maiden. Tu é que decides.
- Outro dia, pode ser que outro dia te deixe desenhar.
(...)
- Dentro desta mochila trago os chocolates que me pediste, e trago novamente o caderno, a ver se hoje me deixas desenhar-te.
- Por acaso gostava que me desenhasses, mas no quarto não, podemos ir para a sala?

O Renato é meu amigo à 32 anos. E mesmo perante vidas tão diferentes e distantes, continua a ser um dos meus melhores amigos. Para ele eu também sou, e infelizmente um dos poucos. Está a viver talvez um dos momentos mais difíceis da sua vida, mas não o mais difícil. Até aposto que coisas ruins e muito difíceis que já lhe aconteceram na vida foram piores que esta, e às quais, com dificuldade, resistiu. Acredito que cada um de nós nasce com um número de coisas boas, e também coisas ruins, destinadas a acontecer durante a vida. Por enorme infortúnio acho que lhe calharam as coisas ruins que estavam destinados a outros, por troca das boas que deveriam ser suas por direito.
Vou voltar a levar o caderno de todas as outras vezes que te for visitar, gostava tanto que nesse lugar não fosse mais nenhuma...
- In all the times that I come here to visit you, I'll bring this sketchbook, until one day you let me draw.
- And why do you want to draw me?
- Because I like to register in my sketchbook the people that I like the most.
- I do not want you to draw me in this place, and not in this pajama.
- But I can draw you without drawing the place. And I can change those pajama to a black Iron Maiden t-shirt. You decide.
- Another day, maybe I'll let you draw me.
(...)
- In this bag I bring the chocolates you asked for, and I bring the sketchbook again, to see if you let me draw you today.
- I think I might like if you draw me, but not in the bedroom, can we go to the living room?

Renato is my friend since 1985. And even with such different and distant lives, he remains one of my best friends. For him I am also, and unfortunately one of the few. He is living perhaps one of the most difficult times in his life, but not the most difficult. I even bet that bad and very difficult things that have happened to him in his life were worse than this, and to which, with difficulty, he resisted. I believe that each of us is born with a number of good things, and also bad things, destined to happen during life. Out of great misfortune, I think that he got the bad things destined for others, replaced for the good things that should have belonged to him by right.
I'm going to take the sketchbook back every time I visit you, I liked it so much that in this place never more...
