Dear Cirillo, I know I'm gone and I left you all alone. Your father is a great man but I know he won't understand you once you grow up. Art is a beautiful thing and I am glad I gave you some lessons before I passed. When I got cancer I knew I had to do something good for you. I needed to pass down the art. I know you are going to become an amazing artist some day and I love you with all of my heart. That is why I am leaving you these works of art. These were my favorite and best done work. I want you to study them. There is a story in each picture. You will soon understand what everything means. Love, SLM
