My grandfather said that one should never have debts of love or affection, since they are the ones that mark us the most and by not paying them it leaves a vacuum in the soul that is difficult to overcome, the grandfather in his great wisdom commented that you should never wait that the person leaves us, to say how special it is for you, whether it sounds ridiculous or out of tune, you just have to show the love that you have, even through a simple word.

The chaotic situation of a country increasingly deteriorated with a superinflation, with a totalitarian and criminal state, occupies each of our day to day, leaving aside many things, occupying almost all of the daily conversations, a recurring theme in meetings between friends and family.

In those moments of injustice and humiliation, to which we have been constantly objects, is where the true friendship is demonstrated, the unconditional one, the one that would give the whole to be by your side and support you in every situation.

I am one of those lucky ones who has a friendship of that level, a friendship that goes beyond the limits of brotherhood, a person who happens to be always there, to support me and make me feel that I have someone in those difficult moments of life, where to sustain, truth and reason are crimes in a totalitarian state.

A true friendship that began 30 years ago, by joining together in the company that formed us, as workers and which we learned to love and become part of us, there the friendship was built, slowly but surely, always based on the truth, that at times we had our difference, of course, but we respect each other and accept ourselves as we are.

In that journey we each came to form our families and friendship continued to grow, were times of abundance, a country that never, even in the worst nightmare, we imagined to reach this situation of hunger and destruction.

So we become consolidated as friends and brothers, assuming roles of compadre without ownership, a friendship that continues to grow without realizing it, only demonstrated with facts constantly.

So we continue walking through this life, sharing with the family and in recent years, counting totally on your unconditional friendship, having difficult experiences, where without fear you always raised your hand in my support, where hypocrisy and lack of loyalty was the line to follow, you were always the brave friend regardless of the consequences, you were with me, defending the values ​​of honesty and freedom almost disappeared in this era.

Always sharing family moments, with our favorite sport, baseball, that a visit to the stadium, took us to a time capsule, where during 9 inning, we isolated ourselves a little together with our families of reality.

We always call each other constantly, and we talk about any topic, sometimes without transcendence, only daily and family aspects, but important in our daily lives.

Until one morning in April, an unexpected call, it had only been 72 hours of our last conversation, and it was to make the preparations for our longed for retirement, this call marks an important fact, by the voice of the family was not anything of good augury.

A call that would mark my days from that moment, begins the last 45 days of your life, our last conversation was in the emergency of the Hospital, and as you said yourself, that was the last favor you would ask me and when I conclude, start a journey that we should all take, but in your case you should go ahead.

Were 45 days very hard, but the requested was achieved that your family was supported and protected by your 30 years of service, as a person of your word, you left at the end of that last favor, again fulfilled !, As a man of honor, although you did not keep this I assure you that nobody would reproach you.

In a twist of fate, your wife and your daughters are left without an exemplary husband and father, and I lose a brother physically, but I know that he will keep his legacy and teachings in all of us, I understood that eternity exists and that every One of us has a part of you, you showed that first of all is our principles and values ​​and you defended it until the last day.

Friend embarks on this journey, with the assurance that sooner or later we will find ourselves in the immensity of eternity, I remain with the tranquility of having shown you in life the importance of your friendship, and I can support you in your last days, I hope I have fulfilled.

On clear nights, when I look at the sky, I imagine that you shine, like all those stars, illuminating the path of all of us, that you gave us the honor of having met you in this passage through life.

EXCELLENT TRAVEL FRIEND
