Lv: "Es nezinu," viņš beidzot atbildēja, noliecot galvu.

Lv: Dzīve varētu būt grūta, bet viņš nebija viens.
En: Life could be tough, but he wasn't alone.

Lv: Ar katru sniega pārslu, kas klusi krita no debesīm, viņš pieņēma šo jauno atziņu.
En: With every snowflake quietly falling from the sky, he embraced this newfound insight.

Lv: Šodien Valentīna diena īpaši atgādināja mīlestību un rūpes.

En: The three of them – Jānis, Anna, and Ilze – received a new beginning in this quiet park.

Lv: Un Jānis nekad neaizmirsīs stundas, kuras pavadīja, gaidot ziņas, kas veidoja viņu spēcīgāku un gudrāku par to, kā rāda savas emocijas un dalīties ar tām.
