O caminho era cheio de árvores altas.

The path was full of tall trees.

O som dos pássaros era como uma música doce.

The sound of birds was like sweet music.

Lucas corria na frente, olhando cada pedra e planta.

Após uma hora de caminhada, chegaram a uma cachoeira.

A água caía com força, criando uma névoa fresca.

The water fell with force, creating a cool mist.

Lucas estava radiante.

Lucas was beaming.

Ele nunca tinha visto algo tão bonito.

He had never seen anything so beautiful.

Isabela estendeu uma toalha para um piquenique.

Isabela spread out a towel for a picnic.

Enquanto comiam frutas e sanduíches, começaram a conversar sobre seus medos.

As they ate fruits and sandwiches, they started talking about their fears.

Gael tinha medo de não ser um bom pai.

Gael was afraid of not being a good father.

Isabela temia que Lucas crescesse rápido demais.

Depois, decidiram continuar a trilha.

Then, they decided to continue the trail.

Haviam muitas subidas e descidas, mas eles se ajudavam.

There were many ups and downs, but they helped each other.

Quando Gael cansava, Isabela o incentivava.

When Gael got tired, Isabela encouraged him.

Quando Lucas sentia medo, Gael segurava sua mão.

When Lucas felt scared, Gael held his hand.

Finalmente, chegaram ao topo de uma colina.

Finally, they reached the top of a hill.

A vista era espetacular.

The view was spectacular.

Eles podiam ver todo o parque, com suas montanhas e vales.

They could see the entire park, with its mountains and valleys.

A sensação de conquista era imensa.

The sense of accomplishment was immense.

Todos olhavam para o horizonte e se sentiam mais próximos.

They all looked at the horizon and felt closer to each other.

Gael percebeu que havia superado seu medo.

Gael realized that he had overcome his fear.

Ele era sim um bom pai, porque estava ali, presente e cuidadoso.

He was indeed a good father because he was there, present and caring.

Isabela sorriu ao ver Lucas tão feliz.

Isabela smiled as she saw Lucas so happy.

Ela sabia que, mesmo que ele crescesse, sempre teria a lembrança desse dia.

She knew that even as he grew up, he would always have the memory of this day.

Lucas olhou para o céu e, pela primeira vez, não temeu o escuro.

Lucas looked at the sky and, for the first time, did not fear the dark.

Ele sabia que sua família estaria sempre com ele.

He knew his family would always be with him.

Descendo a colina, Gael, Isabela e Lucas caminhavam devagar, saboreando cada momento.

Descending the hill, Gael, Isabela, and Lucas walked slowly, savoring each moment.

Eles não eram mais só uma família.

They were no longer just a family.

Eles eram uma equipe, prontos para enfrentar qualquer desafio juntos.

They were a team, ready to face any challenge together.

O sol ainda brilhava enquanto saíam do parque, mas, dentro deles, havia uma nova luz, mais forte e poderosa, que jamais se apagaria.

The sun was still shining as they left the park, but within them, there was a new light, stronger and more powerful, that would never go out.
