To Natalia;
Why does she need to go? I just realized how much I want her
to stay. Just to know that she was here and that we could talk and share some
of our best moments as two persons can share friendship, has been absolutely
rewarding!
Everything started more than two decades ago. I was in a
breakfast with all the moms for our kindergarteners, two sits were still empty,
and suddenly at the same time two absolutely awesome visions enter the room.
The first one was a Japanese- Mexican girl with and outstanding red dress that
contrasted perfectly with her, and pointed out a very sophisticated hair cut.
One side shorter than the other, with bangs; super black, super shiny and she
was very elegant and witty. And behind her was another girl in red too but her
dress was floating in the room like it had a special air making it float,
absolutely majestic she had long blond hair and her blue eyes were radiant and
happy, she was pushing a stroller. They both sat down and introduced themselves
and it was an instant click… after that, the three of us plus another friend
had wonderful times and shared all the elementary school phase of our kids
together. The birthday’s parties, the events in the school, and our fabulous
searching of nice restaurants to have breakfast indulging ourselves with great
conversations, superb food, and lovely ambiences was pure happy life. Ah! Those
good old days!!
Memories come to me in a kaleidoscope of events. Once my
friend and I worked together in an educational project with great success,
today we want to revamp it. We finished it for the moment but a project can
have other steps if you have a vision for that, so that is a good thing, it
does not matter the distance, we still can work together… The incredible thing
is that we also stayed for long periods of time at the same time in the same countries
which it is almost impossible for two friends, in each of the countries we
visited icons of culture and had many intellectual adventures. We saw our
families grow, mature and made their own families; we still are in the last
part of that, so interesting!
She paints; I can actually make a book describing her
paintings that are fresh and cozy at the same time. Her paintings are precise
and accurate, with depth and composition that can give you an entire message of
occasional beauty. Indeed, she has wonderful works of art not only on canvas
but in her entire house… You can walk to one room and be surrounded by
beautiful dinosaurs in a checkers ground like. It is like floating in a fantasy
with a super comforting feeling, and the special thing is that who knew that a
theme of dinosaurs can be so compellingly adequate for a bedroom. Another room
is the kitchen full of Arab writing in a welcome way only in the cornices and
balustrades in a very delicate calligraphy, yet with vibrant colors. Yes, just
writings, still, with a powerful presence of a dynamic center of the delicacies’
lab. Because that is what a kitchen is. Why do you want to go to a kitchen if
you are not going to indulge yourself or others? That is the way we share our
vision of preparing food… and guess what.. She cooks exquisite! How am I not
going to miss her?…
In a turn of events she needs to switch countries again, and
that, my friends require strength, lots of it.
She writes, she is a web designer, she dances and bikes, she
can make an astonishing dress from scratch… If you ask me if I admire her, the
answer is Yess!!! She is my friend, and I am going to miss her enormously, but
I know that there is no distance that could, or can take us apart because a
true friendship is sealed in the stars and ours is a beautiful constellation!!
Have a nice wonderful journey my dearest friend, and luckily one day we may share
our time together again!!!♥
