a terceira rosa

Quando deu à luz o seu terceiro filho, Maria já não tinha preferência nem curiosidade pelo sexo do bebé, e quando lhe disseram que era uma menina o seu rosto não mudou de expressão. Segurou a recém-nascida nos braços e deixou os músculos cair devagar, afundando ainda mais o corpo na cama. Pensou na sua vida e no seu marido, nos deveres de mulher e na promessa de um céu depois da morte. E desejou morrer.

What roads have you crossed, what paths have you chosen that made you look so tired of life, not wanting to feel joy, love??!!! I wonder! Years have gone by and I lost track of you, but today after looking at your 24 year-old photo I saw the same Ricardo that was so bright and witty and Marilyn Manson's biggest fan!Undoubtedly you are a king and your throne should be set in someone's heart, where you have made a difference! And I believe you did or you do, my dear ex-student!
Your ex-teacher from Joane,
Mary Nogueira

Gosh, this was most unexpected but so amazing! I do hope you're doing well, dear teacher :)
First of all, thanks for actually reading my blog, it really matters for me. Secondly, I'm not tired of life at all - I write these somewhat dark texts so I can enjoy it again.

Anyway, we should have a big meeting: the students, you, prof. Isabel, prof. Luísa Aguiar, etc etc!
