Guys...
My father just passed away.
This morning I woke up thinking that I and my viejo were going to have a sun bath, he had been telling me amusing anecdotes about his brief career as an actor in Mexico, his life in Italy, his life in Buenos Aires and (according to him) the best moment of his life in Colombia when he met my mother... and I thought he would make me laugh again just like the previous days... but this morning he said that he did not want to take a sun bath and said that he wanted to talk to my mom... they talked and talked and talked for about 5 hours. Then it was my turn, he talked to me and after 2 hours he died... surrounded by the people he loved, he closed his eyes in my arms... now he's gone
=(
I cannot express my feelings... this situation is overwhelming... and funny but for me PBH is a shelter...
These 8 hours have been the worst hours of my life... and just thinking that I will not see my viejo anymore makes me really sad.
Right now we are waiting at the crematory...
THANK YOU TO EACH ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT... I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN...
Rest in peace Señor Modotti
Gabriel
