The Blanket

I am deeply grateful for my Brasilian family. +Naudal, Carmen Regina and there adult children Denise, Clarissa, Mauricio and Clarissa's fiance Emersom, as well as +Naudal's sister Carmen Etel+ have embraced me with familial affection and uncommon hospitality. When visiting San Francisco in May, +Naudal said, "When you come to Brasil, I will treat you as I treat my son", and that he has done. When I recently moved from a hotel to my apartment, +Naudal greeted me at the office one morning and said, "I've thought very much about what we will provide you for your house." He raised his fists to his shoulders as one wraps himself in a cover, smiled broadly and continued. "We want to provide you the blanket to protect you." I am grateful.
