His Excellency, the plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the Belgian Crown sacrificed his entire life for his country. His dedication came with a price; he never really had time for me, his son. I thus, decide to come to Brussels to try to make up for lost time.
Sua Eccellenza l’Ambasciatore straordinario plenipotenziario della Repubblica di Polonia in missione nel Regno del Belgio consacrò tutta la sua vita al suo Paese. Così che non ebbe mai veramente tempo per me, suo figlio. Con tutta ammirazione verso di lui, feci il possibile per assomigliargli. Ma, sembra che sia piuttosto diventato il suo opposto. Sono venuto a Bruxelles per trascorrere con lui alcuni giorni e per recuperare una parte del tempo perso. Lo seguo ovunque egli va. Ma per lui è inusuale che io gli stia così alle calcagna.
