So Andrew, a dear friend, while in the care chimioterapiche, full of life.

You can be a mason who picks up a house,
can live in a luxury residence or under a bridge, you can own the
or even weapons of tanks,
you can be the master of self or others can also banks have

can dress up like cotton or silk dress,
may or may like to drink whiskey like
can drink milk or eat bread like eating caviar,
you can sleep on the floor or on a bed in double square

But you have to serve someone just like that,
have to serve somebody,
may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you have to serve someone
