My lone star

Caio is my favorite nephew.

 

There are plenty of reasons for that. He is kind, sweet, clever.

 

He speaks low, listens when people talk to him, and laughs a lot. He has always something nice to say, something witty, something fun.

 

But I also love his long silences and the way he seems to be in peace with himself when he is alone, totally immerse in his thoughts.  He thinks a lot and has interesting opinions about everything.

 

If I had to describe him in one world it would be "easygoing".

 

It's impossible not to love him. Specially because we both root for the same team, the once glorious Botafogo - the team of the lone star.

 

He is 13.  He is my lone star.

Ah... mas é so olhar pra ele e se apaixonar mesmo. Claro, ninguém é perfeito - tinha que torcer pelo Botafogo. Mas tudo bem - vendo esta carinha, a gente até releva...

Vou tentar relevar seu comentário sobre o Botafogo...

Excellent B&W portrait of your nephew, Caio. Let us hope that life does not jade the qualities you see in him, and that he grows from a fine sapling into a mature and solid oak.

Caio is a very special boy, He is fortunate to have and Uncle who loves him and Appreciates him so much. Family love is the most special think on this Earth, to treasure those brings warmth and keeps our hearts healthy. ~~*Sincerely, Robbi

Me conmovió muchísimo, siempre recuerdo una foto de él, chiquito, en Minas... Pero lo más tocante es que leía su descripción y parecía la de Gonzalo, además tienen la misma edad. La foto tiene algo de melancólico, de antiguo (pensé que era una foto vieja, al ver el Tabblo chiquito). Lástima el texto en inglés...Snif. Um abraçao para o CAIO!!!!!!

Eduardo, você está muito "família", se me permite assim dizer. São fotos deste e de outro tabblo com qualidade impecável. Vou esperar voce sair de casa e cair no mundo. (rsrsrs)

¿Botafogo...?¿Eduardo, por cuántos equipos hinchás...? Flu o Fla (sorry, ya me olvidé), Atlético Mineiro o no sé cuál de B.H. y ahora... también Botafogo. Acá se dice que podés cambiar de analista, de color de pelo, de barrio, de amores... pero jamás de club de fútbol, ja, ja.
¿Leíste mi mail sobre la cuestión griega...?

O Caio é cheio de qualidades (segundo seu tio mais coruja) e lindo (segundo nossos olhos podem apurar). Parabéns, Eduardo. Excelente fotografia.

Edu, não sei se vc leu oque eu escrevi no tabblo da Julie, mas eu disse que faltava o tabblo caio. Só não sabia que ia ficar tão bom. Caio é sem dúvida nenhuma um bom amigo. Esse retrato merece um poster.

You describe Caio in words and it is possible to see them reflected in this wonderful portrait Eduardo.

Caio parabéns voce é dos nosso, a estrela solitária está muito bem representada no seu peito, ainda vamos no Maraca juntos torcer por ele. Mas Eduardo será que voce ao descrever o Caio não se olhou no espelho????????? Qualquer semelhança não é mera coincidência é herança mesmo
