PABLO: Juan Pablo, it’s me. I was thinking about the trip we took to Disney, do you remember? You were little. You wanted to go on every ride. You had no fear. It was the happiest I ever saw you. We had fun on that trip. We visited Washington, and Graceland, Las Vegas... There are so many places in this world I want you to see. I know a lot of what’s happening doesn’t make sense to you, but please, don’t be afraid.
