Incident

Papá, tú eras el que estaba en ese semáforo a las 4:00 AM, dirigiendo el tráfico para que nosotros, tus hijos, llegáramos seguros a la escuela. Yo te miraba desde el carro y gritaba con orgullo: “Ese es mi papá, ese es mi papá.” Hoy, después de más de 11 años dirigiendo mi empresa Traffic Black Box, dedicada a sistemas de rastreo y seguridad en autos, entiendo por qué se llama así. Estoy en ese mismo semáforo… ahora soy yo el que protege vidas, gracias a ti.
