I let the fear aside, I faced the ghosts that I loaded for many years, I got brave going over the major and complicated passages of my life from childhood until my first experiences of encounters with older age, I wanted to transfer to paper everything that brought me back memories, before my eyes get tired more than are now and before my memory refuses to remember and my conscience distorts the reality. In these pages is no intention of any teaching, I personally learned from my own stories, of my own achievements and failures but it was also necessary to mix my memories with experience over the years that life has given me. Obviously there are situations that I would not repeat and others that I would like to have the opportunity to return to the past to remedy them, as it is impossible to do one or the other I should accept my past as it is and without regrets. Passages that I rescued and snatch not exempt of consequences from the depths of my heart and conscience, passages that I wanted and promised a day to forget, what obviously I did not, perhaps for good. Not everything on these pages is full of joy or total sadness, it is simply life. Thanks to those who are and also, were part of my memories and experiences. Writing those passages I wanted to also involve my wife and my children, mainly in gratitude for all the happiness, help, understanding, passion and tolerance that I have received from them. For my own sanity I have been cautious not to distort reality, I only mixed objectivity with some touches of fantasy by the simple fact of protecting people who were and are close to me, to avoid running over to those who cannot defend themselves and they will never know that they are part of a story, my story. They will have to respond or be answered, each one according to their own actions, I have not tried to judge or be judged either accuser or accused. My intention has been to just remember and stamping my comments for the moment lived, stage by stage with the mentality of the passing of the years. Evidently not everything regarding my life is here, it would have been tedious, slow and tiring adventures to write and full of secrets that I would have not wanted to share. I do not seek advice on what I should have done or I should stop doing nor giving advice to any of the people named here, the reason why these pages do not contain proper names with the exception of a couple of them. We are all loaded up with secrets and sins and facing them is the true value of life. Forgiveness, when it exists, must be sincere and without conditions. I hope, a day be forgiven by those with whom I acted unjustly.
