＜STORY>
Friday morning, November 13, 2015. Journalist Antoine Lelis and his son Melville send off his wife Hélène, who is rushing to work. She takes care of herself by homemaking a healthy breakfast for her son, is stylish and has a great sense of humor. The best mother and beloved wife of my son has suddenly gone to heaven. Even in such a situation, my son is hungry, plays with sand, and begs me to read him picture books. Antoine began to write letters to his son, as if to put aside the pain of not being able to share his grief with anyone and his anxiety about the one-man job of child-rearing that was about to begin. The letter to the terrorist who took his wife’s life is a message of commitment to his late wife, a statement of his determination to “carry on with life as before,” even with his son. Antoine’s poetic declaration of “no gift of hate,” shared by more than 200,000 people overnight and gracing the front pages of newspapers, cools down the unsettled people of Paris and fosters their unity to not give in to terrorism.
