By chance, we met our dear new friend
He was in a moment of distress after losing his phone
He left it in an Uber, and his ordeal began
He approached us with worried eyes and an unsettled tone in his voice.
He was a visitor from afar without anyone to turn
We assisted this stranger in this time of need.
Not knowing that this chance encounter would result in a beautiful friendship.

He protects and serves, a Police Officer by profession and a man with a good heart.
A family man, a great father, grandfather, and a loving son,
A caring friend with plenty of stories to tell.
Laughter was our common language, and trying to understand each other was part of the joy.
Despite our limited Portuguese, it did not stop the growth of our friendship bond.

Our friend went back home.
A majestic place that sounds like a paradise on earth
With sunny beaches, mountains, and beautiful and friendly people
Santa Catarina, Brazil...a place we may visit one day to see our friend!

We wish you a happy life, dear friend,
We will never forget our unexpected encounter.
I know our time together was short, but it truly felt like you were family.
We feel lucky to have met you, our caring and funny friend from Brazil!

The lesson I learned from this wonderful experience,
To never pass a chance to help someone in need,
There are wonderful surprises from taking a moment to assist
You never know a simple gesture could become a lasting and unforgettable friendship!
And in the end, you may be the one who truly benefits from the joy of meeting someone new!

Hello friend Luz, here is your new friend Henrique Neri, Florianopolis State of Santa CATARINA Brazil. I will never forget what Senhora Luz and Senhor Marlon did for me in the City of Miami, it was Sunday at 11 am, when the uber took my cell phone and I asked for help from several people, including natives and uber drivers and no one helped me until I found it. this blessed and enlightened family where they stayed with me for hours until I located them, Mrs. Luz and Mr. Marlon spared no effort in several calls with different requests until reaching a happy ending, here in Brazil I will welcome this wonderful family where we will have lots of laughs…
