Muita Coragem e força para você enfrentar todos os desafios que virão, pois são com eles que crescemos.

Lucie, I love you more than you could ever know and I hope that my promises help contribute to a better world for you and inspire you to take action as well as you grow into the amazing adult I know you will be.
