My Dear Sylvestre:
A year has passed since you had to move on. Time has gone so fast, but it has been not enough to dry my tears every now and then. They still keep coming, I guess it’s because of that big mark
you left in my heart.
Things are so different around here, but your love, my love for you, my memories and what you taught me, have helped me all this time, and have helped also in my caring for the others that are here now.
That day I crossed a line with you, something I was not prepared to do, but that crossing changed my heart forever. To give, to care and to love, are the 3 things I learned with you, and
those things you carry on always.
I miss you so much, I show your pictures and talk about you with so much pride, pride because of what I became because of you, and it makes you still be here with me, within me.
If you came to me to do that job, you did an excellent job, and you must be happy about it, as I am too.
But I just can’t help missing you, being sad for not having you here anymore, maybe I should just see it how you do, but it is difficult, maybe with time, but who knows, that’s how we humans are.
The day is ending with such a beautiful sunset, I see it from up here, on our terrace where we put you to rest, it was a beautiful day, just as beautiful as the day when you left, I still picture it like it was yesterday.
I guess it must be a signal, that you are somewhere, still there, still here; and because of that everything is still beautiful from up here, and you keep living with me…within me until we meet again.
