“You used to tell him that the blue thread would always bring him home.”
I began trembling.
Because only two people had known those words.
Me and my little boy.
My Daniel.
The child I had lost twenty-seven years earlier.
Back then, our son was only four years old.

Then someone found one of his tiny sandals near the water.
Rescue teams searched for him for a long time.
But they never found Daniel.
Nobody could confirm what had actually happened.
As the years passed, we were forced to accept that we would probably never see him again.
For a long time, I couldn’t even bear to look at pictures of the ocean.
And now a complete stranger was standing in front of me, repeating the very words I used to whisper to my son every night.
