Michael continued:
- Dad was most afraid that after his death you would stop living altogether.
I looked at Daniel.
His eyes filled with tears.
“Masom and I were lying in the same hospital room for weeks,” he said. “After a hard operation, I was completely exhausted. He could barely walk. It seemed to me that I would never return to the old life.
- What about Thomas?
He tried to make me laugh every day. He said that people often do not understand how precious the usual morning is until they face the danger of never seeing him again.
Daniel fell silent for a moment.
One night he showed me your old photo taken when he was young. You had a blue swimsuit on you.
I remembered that picture.
It was made during our first joint vacation. I was twenty-seven years old.
