To my dear friend:

I know the pain you feel right now is unbearable, losing your sister is something you never thought of. It is something that none of us thought this could happen. She seemed to defeat any difficulty that appeared in front of her but this fucking disease was too much for her. I can’t imagine your suffering right now. I just know you have a niece to take care for and you have to be there for her, to remember her how wonderful was her mother and you also have a father who never imagined to be in the burial of any of his children. His pain will be enormous and he will feel a profound emptiness, but you also have to support him.
Do not remember the bad moments; remember how she always said a joke to make the things easier. Remember how with a smile she could light a whole room, her beautiful eyes and her wonderful sense of humour. Do not be sad because she is not here anymore, be relieved she is not suffering any longer…nobody should suffer in that way…
She always be remembered as the wonderful and beautiful person that always was and always bear in mind that God decided to take her with him. Maybe she was too good to be in this world…
Never forget that she’s going to be present all the time in each one of you, especially in Emilse; haven’t you noticed how she looks like to her mother each day more and more? It’s amazing and beautiful to find all her expressions in this little child…
As I said before, I know I don’t have any idea of the suffering and pain that it means to lose a sister, but I understand you and I suffer because you and your family are suffering. I just wanna tell you that you know you can count on me whenever you need to talk or not to talk or whatever you need; I’ll always be there for you.

that was very sweet, Caro. you have well expressed what all of us are feeling right now regarding our friend, our dear friend as you correctly called her. I think Mariam and we are very lucky to have you 'cause you're light for us, even in difficult times like this. a hug, barby.
