My loving Father
As I sit down to write this letter to you, I’m filled with a sense of gratitude and reflection. I’ve come to realize that life, in its essence, is a series of choices we make, even before we enter this world. Choices that will determine and affect the experience in this lifetime.
One of the key choices you’ll face is selecting your parents, the individuals to whom you’ll entrust your life in the purest and most delicate form. They bear the responsibility of introducing you to the world, equipping you with the foundational knowledge needed for the path that lies ahead.
From all the people in the world, all couples, all possible timelines you could enter, you pick out the exact birthdate, the place and these two wonderful people who trusted each other enough to host a new life. You trust them to give you exactly what you need, the perfect calibrated starter experience in this life, to prepare you for what lies ahead.
When you think about that, there is nothing more important and impactful than the decision to choose your parents, as they hold in their hands the most precious treasure that you have, your own life.
It took me a lifetime :), literally a lifetime, to figure out and come to an understanding and conclusion as to why, from all infinite possibilities and combinations, I choose exactly you. It’s become clear there was no better choice I could have made. Now, I see that everything aligns perfectly, just as it was meant to be, PERFECT!
There is nothing in this world, nothing in this life, that I would go back and change. My love for you two, my dear parents, surpasses all.
It’s hard to envision anyone else who could have better equipped me for life’s journey and instilled in me such profound values and beliefs. I now also understand why Edison, Edona & Edon made the same decision and chose exactly this loving family you two created.
I take pride in believing I was the first to recognize your potential and value simply because it brings joy to acknowledge the blessing of having such incredible parents.
Dad, this letter is dedicated especially towards you, as I have so much to say but know so little about how to do it. Please know that each word here is written with love. With each letter that you will get, I hope to share not just my feelings but also the truths and perspectives that have shaped me. You’ve been more than a father to me — you’ve been my mentor, my support, and my source of inspiration. I hope that in the end, you will understand what a privilege it was to grow up with you, and still is, to have you as my father.
Life isn’t just about facing challenges; it’s about embracing them as opportunities for growth and creation, a balancing act separating the dark from the light so you can explore and create. The dimension of time provides us with the perspective needed to realize that our worst events and biggest challenges often become our greatest blessings and the best thing that could ever happen. Without these moments, we wouldn’t have the chance to make meaningful choices or establish our core values. Everything in this life is connected; everything is a cause-and-effect reaction, and if you start to understand, you start to see the magic.
I wish for you to trust, to let go of the past and to see the magic…
Once I understood that your biggest trauma was our biggest gift, I couldn’t unsee anymore the love that I have for you because I saw what the price was that you have paid for these deeply rooted values of freedom, family and love.
Just like the rest of us, you also chose your parents before you entered this life, only to be sure to understand the value of family so deeply that you would have no other option than to create a great family and lay the foundation for the grand design, which will unfold on generations to come.
Hard decisions lead to a great life, but in this case, you thought not for a lifetime but for generations ahead, which again shows your wisdom and greatness.
It took some time, but I’ve realized the essence behind the saying: “When someone hits you on the cheek, show them the other.”
Initially, I thought my role was to break the cycle of a weak man in this family and become the greatest man of this bloodline that has ever lived, not for the sake of becoming that, but for the sake of correcting the wrongdoings of you and the others.
Now, I see that perspective was wrong, misguided, and fueled by ego rather than understanding. You are the greatest man our bloodline has ever seen and experienced, laying down a legacy of love, unity, pride, and freedom for future generations.
Your vision and soul surpass anything I could have imagined, defining what it means to be a loving father. Your example, the oldest and wisest among us, reveals the true power of love and the profound impact one individual can have on the legacy of our lineage.
I now see that my life mission is the same as the father’s wish for his child, the same wish that you have for me, the same that I have for myself: to exceed you and become an even better person than you are. For such a great mission, I am privileged, ready and deeply grateful.
I love you!
You integrated the core values such as Freedom, Love, & Family so deep in our lives that they are now part of our DNA, identity and natural being. To try to ignore feels like trying to oppose the laws of gravity, to fool ourselves and to act towards something we are not.
Reflecting on our journey, I now grasp the magnitude of the privilege we’ve had, surrounded by unconditional love. It feels like the story of the Alchemist, who travels through the whole world in search of a treasure, only to understand that it was always there, in his home. As they say, you can give only what you have, and you filled our arsenal with the biggest power in this world to share and gift through the journey that we pass: Unconditional Love.
I’ve learned that while God’s love is unparalleled, He grants us the freedom of free will. The best we humans can do is to share that same love, the highest form of love: Freedom. A child may not grasp a father’s actions, judging without full understanding, yet this is both a challenge and a gift. Through that, I now see what a wonderful life you gave us and how these values that we thought we discovered were actually always there.
Imagine being able to choose a life with a loving family, unconditional love and freedom…. What a Bliss.
Freedom is and will always remain a core value of the Luta Bloodline, which we will never compromise for anything and no one. When God and your parents gifted you the freedom to be and become yourself in the purest form, only the fool would let himself be framed and limited. Even if one of us should be tricked, others will live and show our freedom to help them remember who they really are; such is your legacy that will live on for generations to come.
Chess is the magic game that got us all. I don’t know if we are predetermined to love that game or if it is here only for us to understand you and life itself. Like a master, you made all the moves, decisions, and sacrifices while considering the endgame to achieve the ultimate victory in life. For the untrained and the fool, such moves seem irrational and with no sense and could even be interpreted as weakness. But only the masters have the noble ability to endure and sacrifice everything with confidence until the end when their master plan unfolds itself.
A life fighting while holding your values intact is a worthy life and a guaranteed way to win.
I would always say to Edon, that experiencing you in your 30’ & 40s was completely different from later in your 50s. I saw my Hero in you, being in the middle of life, fighting every day out there, adapting to every situation and challenge, creating every day, being a proud hard worker, making hard decisions, and never jeopardising your family.
That made me look up to you and fight for your respect for all my puberty and beyond, which exactly created the possibility to channel my force to try to exceed you, prove myself I’m worthy, and pave my path to become myself, that which I initially signed up in this world. Much later, I would be forced to look backwards and see that, many times, my ignorance would be the curse and blessing of being unable to see what it was at the moment to understand later after discovering myself.
I wish you to find that fire in you, the sparkle that makes life worthy of questioning the status quo and unveiling the unknown that lies so deep in you.
I want to share a story with you that you probably heard a few times from me, but this time it is different. This time, I’m not judging you, and I’m not the main character in this story; this time, this story is about you and for you.
When I was little, I saw on TV a Kellogs Cornflakes Ad, and I begged you to buy us those. You immediately agreed and told me that the next weekend you will buy us those. The weekend came, and I couldn’t wait for you to get us the Kellogs Cornflakes; I couldn’t believe the feeling that I was getting to experience something advertised on the TV and that you would fulfil my desire. Later, you came back from the grocery store, and you brought with you the cornflakes, but only the wrong ones; they weren’t the same as in the TV ad; they were discount cornflakes, and they were just copies. I immediately understood that and saw my joy flash away, but not all of it, as I still wanted to experience the cornflakes. I have never forgotten this experience; it is one of the defining moments in my life.
At that moment, I understood that I was not worthy of getting the best of the best, to get something that was the newest and the best, ergo being advertised on TV. From that moment on, I understood what I could get and what not. I’ll tell you my perspective so we can now get to you: This was never about me because these were not my choices that defined this experience, but rather yours. This pattern of decisions can be seen throughout most of your life; you never loved yourself that much to allow yourself to have the best product, the best feeling, the best taste, the best experience, but always choosing the second and the third option, always playing it safe. I understand that in some scenarios, it was predetermined from the monetary aspect, but in many other cases, it was not.
I beg you, please start to love yourself and go a little bit more crazy; see yourself as worthy of the best of the best that this world has to offer. I’m telling you, from one of the most loved places someone can be, please start to love yourself as much as you loved and love us. This is my wish for this year 2024 for you.
I now understand why, in the last year since my 33rd birthday, my desire became so strong actually to speak and live the truth and to get to know you. Not only that, but I really want to learn from your wisdom and to know who was, in reality, this founding father of this greater generation. As we are all variations and combinations of you and our mother, it is more than important to know the source code in the first line and what made it so great.
I hope this letter gives you peace, love, and understanding for a new soul which is here to experience :)
With love from the bottom of my heart, your son,
Eduard Gani Luta
