Adoption

Meaning

Tonight I had dinner in a Spanish restaurant in Prague with my (first) Czech translator, her husband, her son and a man who became my bibliographer. Some people were looking for meaning in their lives and they found me.
It’s not that I only take, I like to give as well.
I said to this man: “You can adopt me anytime you like.” He answered: “You are too old for me.”
