Dear Daan,

Dear Daan,
 
on this solemn day I would like to let you know that my experiences I have had with you especially this summer are like a bright signpost standing on a deep and strong foundation which is made of light, intelligence, love for peace and affection for another human being. These experiences reinforce scientific knowledge that even emotions are cultural artifacts and that we, human beings, can learn just about anything and personally transform ourselves to become better. Your spiritual nature and wisdom give your youth a special charm that makes you extremely appreciated and respected in my eyes. I believe that together we will experience a lot of that which is good, intelligent and beautiful, but at the same time I look forward to conversations with you, which are always enlightening, full of sparkle, humor and a high level of ethics which is a very special attitude towards another person. You always accept and confirm them and that is something in your personality that I really admire.
 
Yours truly,
