I found this letter the other day in the pocket of an old jacket.

I wrote it soon after Léo was born, and I...

I had no idea I was going through postpartum depression.

Reading this was like reliving the worst time of my life.

Of your life as well, ours.

And yet we overcame it together.

Sure.

It is that every time I think that I caused you suffering by my choices,

and by my incapacity, I feel immense pain.

♪♪

I'm sorry.

You remember our deal, right?

There is no one to blame here.

I know.

But I can't stop thinking that

if I had managed to get pregnant you wouldn't be going through any of this.

♪♪

You have no way of knowing that, do you?

It is out of our hands.

We can't know if it would be any different.

It happened the way it was meant to happen, with the maturity that we had at the time.

♪♪

Sometimes I wish I could get it out of us.

There is a quote that I like very much, that says:

"We are what we experience, the remnants of what we go through,

and the consequences of what we choose.

We are ourselves, mutable and undefined."

We have today now, Valentina.

And today, I'm discovering a new way to be happy.

For us to be happy.

I wish I could have a brother.

I'm going to have one!

Will I ever get one too?

Hey kids, what are you playing at?

Mom, this is my sister Laura.

She's so cute, my son.

Can I hold her for a little bit?

Yes, of course, you can.

[Indistinct chattering]

- She is so cute! - She is, isn't she?

[Indistinct chattering and chuckles]

[Hitting the glass] Attention! Attention, everybody!

Pay attention to your Mom! Attention!

Thank you! Good Afternoon!

I'd like to propose a toast.

It's so good to experience this wonderful moment...

Thank you for your kindness. Now let's eat. I'm starving!

Shall we go for a walk?

Please.

♪♪

Excuse us.

♪♪

Thank you for getting me out of there, It was really hard for me.

I know.

I don't want it to look like I'm not happy, you know,

even more so for Igor.

Nor that I'm not happy with the birth of my nephew, but my mother...

Your brother would never think such a thing of you.

He knows you are happy, but...

...He also understands your pain.

Of course, I do!

- I'm sorry for my selfishness, Chip. - I'm sorry for the triggers.

I love you, and your pain is mine too. It has always been this way.

If I could take this pain away from you and feel it myself, I would.

I'm sure you would, Chip.

- I'm with you, Dale! - Ouch! What's this?

- Guys... - Damn! [chuckles]

Can we talk, my daughter?

Yes, you can.

- I'll leave you alone then. - No! No need, you're family.

Daughter, I know that I'm not as good a mother as I should be, and that you deserve.

But in my way, I always tried to do my best.

Even with Igor, even with him, I couldn't be perfect.

But what I want you to know,

is that even though I'm not this caring, loving mother.

Ever since I brought you into the world, I have always wished you good things.

I'll always be here for whatever you need.

Even with my awkward way of showing things.

My Daughter.

Well, well... everyone decided to to get some air outside.

[Laughs]

Look what I found.

[Indistinct chattering]

[Chuckles]

Hey, girls!

Hey!

[Chuckles] What are those faces for?

- We have news to tell you! - Firsthand!

Uhh! Firsthand news...

Hold on...Is it what I think it is?

- We are... - [Valentina & Luiza shouting] Pregnant!

My darlings! [chuckles]

- I remember that day like it was yesterday. - [Valentina laughing]

And I...[clearing the throat] was the first to know!

- How come you were the first to know? - Uhm!

- So, that means that I was not the first to know? - No.

No? But to buy Ice Cream at 4:30 in the morning almost weekly, then I'm reminded.

- Uhm! - Is that right?

- [Valentina & Marcos laughing] - Is that right?

- Hold on, what do you mean by Ice Cream? - Cupuaçu flavored ice cream.

- Cupuaçu? - In the morning! In the morning!

[Chuckles]

Oh my, my feet are killing me, you know.

I'll tell you what, I'm tired, ok?

Of course, with all the dancing you've done today.

But, is my massage helping?

- Just a tiny bit. - Just a tiny bit?

- [Luiza chuckling] - Ok, I'm going to do more then.

- What about Duda? - Huh?

Duda? Which Duda? She passed out as soon as she lay in the bed.

- As I will do as well because I'm dead. - You're getting old, huh, my brother-in-law?

- Ihh...[chuckles] - Says the young girl with the killing feet,

lying on the couch.

- Ehh! - Huh?

She is pregnant, she tends to get tired more.

The foot...look at this foot, it gets a little swollen, right?

Guys, are you [smells] smelling Cupuaçu?

- Smell of Cupuaçu? - Uhm!

Does Cupuaçu have a smell?

I think I'm getting a craving for Cupuaçu Ice Cream.

Tell you what, tomorrow I will take you this new Ice Cream parlor that Duda loves.

Then you can eat as much as you want. Just eat it all.

All right! I'm going in search of this Cupuaçu Ice Cream.

My son won't be born looking like a Cupuaçu.

- Come on, Chip! - Chip, what?

You must be kidding me, right?

Where are we finding this Ice Cream at this time in the morning?

I have no idea, Chip! But, come on now! Stop being lazy.

No way! Take this young girl with you instead. She's dying to walk.

- Please! - What? Are you serious?

- Uhm! - Stop being lazy! Come on!

I love you guys, ok?

- Me and my little Cupuaçu! - Oh, God!

This child needs to be really beautiful.

Ouch!

- It was always in the morning. [Laughing] - Always in the morning.

- It's not funny, guys. - Luiza always ate a lot of crap.

Then she would get sick, and I would tell her; "Watch your food."

- Do you know what's funny though? - Huh?

I'd eat a Cupuaçu Ice Cream right now!

- Whoa! - If you want, we can go get it for you.

- Don't even! Don't even! - At least, my son doesn't look like a Cupuaçu.

- [Laughing] That's true! - Isn't that right?

Well done, Chip!

There are many good memories!

Yes, there are many!

This picture here is the first time that Léo wriggled on your belly.

- Really? - Uhm!

Do you want it to be a boy or a girl?

[Valentina chuckles]

I've always dreamt of having a baby girl, but I'm 100% sure it's a boy.

How can you be so sure?

Maternal Intuition! Is that what you call it?

- [Valentina chuckling] - That's right, Princess, maternal intuition.

Now...I think I could get a kiss. I feel so needy right now!

Awe!

What a stupid wife I am, leaving you with longing.

Needy for kisses.

And the best woman in the world!

What about you, Sarah? Have you fallen in love for real?

That word doesn't even exist in my vocabulary, to begin with, okay.

What's the point, people? Out of the blue, huh!

What's the problem? It's just a question. Answer it.

No! And I also don't want to!

I have a very busy life, okay?

I don't have time to play affective responsibility with someone.

It's different!

I used to think like that too. But, you know what?

I confess that falling in love was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Although I don't remember much of things,

and that it all seems new. It still feels familiar, you know?

So, how are you dealing with it all?

Well, therapy every day, right?

Look at the new top model in the family, he's calling me to see his pictures.

I'll be right back, okay?

Kisses, sis!

You know what, Luh, I admire your courage, I really do.

But, look, I'm not going to flatter you. Don't get too used to it.

Oh, so I'm your favorite sister, huh?
