His Excellency, Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to the Kingdom of Belgium, has devoted his entire life to his country. However, he has never really had time for me, his son. I have always admired him and wanted to be like him, but it seems I am his very opposite. I have come to Brussels to see him and try and make up for lost time.
