She is my friend Mariana, she is tall, very tall and always dressed in black: black boots, black jacket, black pants and if you have doubts, she had a black cat called Carmencita, well also a white dog, called Valquira. One day Mariana was sick, it was strange, she started with the flu, bronchitis, again the flu, she couldn't go out anymore, so her friends would go to her house and we would eat popcorn with blackberry juice. But she didn't get better and after the first admission to the hospital, the situation worsened, because she was hospitalized for weeks with very strong medication. I made her drawings, so one day she sent me this drawing, because she knows how much love I have for my dog Waldo.
She died, she left, I was able to say goodbye to her because a few days before her family allowed me to visit her, she didn't speak, she didn't see, she was tired... I was not sad, she had been in pain for many months and with a sad life, bedridden and with no notion of anything, I do not even know if I recognized when I went to see her, although we talked a lot, actually I spoke, she could not do it anymore, but laughed subtly. My last drawing, to say goodbye to her, with the dress that she had bought for her marriage... although I never got married, I couldn't do it.
Porque debemos recordar que hoy están, mañana no; hoy estamos, mañana no y como no sabemos que vendrá, siempre es mejor hacerle saber a quienes queremos, que son importantes en nuestra vida y que agradecemos su compañía y enseñanzas.
I'm trying to organize the stop-motion photos and I found these drawings, it was impossible not to smile, because Mariana left me beautiful memories and I know that where she is, she is happy.Why am I telling you this? Because we must remember that today they are, tomorrow they are not; today we are, tomorrow we are not and since we do not know that it will come, it is always better to let those we love know that they are important in our lives and that we are grateful for their company and teachings.
