Siempre te gustaba leer todo lo que yo escribia, decias que tenia una facilidad increible para escribir, y era cierto. Sin embargo, han pasado ya dos meses desde tu partida y le he estado huyendo a este momento en que te tengo que escribir unas ultimas lineas.

Te amo, te extraño infinitamente. Todos los dias miro tus fotos en las que estas siempre sonriente, porque esa fue tu actitud siempre ante la vida. Y me pregunto por que incesantemente. Se que no se deben cuestionar los designios de Dios pero yo me pregunto por que despues de haberte dado la felicidad maxima de saber que ibas a recibir el tan ansiado nieto te dejo con nosotros justo el tiempo de verlo nacer para llamarte a su lado. Me duele y se me desgarra el corazon porque cada vez que pienso en eso te oigo haciendo planes de como ya no ibas a volver a trabajar porque te ibas a dedicar a criarlo en casa, porque no tuviste esa oportunidad con tu hija. Y me da verguenza pensar que el me dio a mi lo que tu ansiabas y tu fuiste mejor persona que yo.

Creo que me encuentro en un estado de negacion porque no quiero, me niego a pensar que has fallecido. Faltan solo unos dias para que todos vayamos a disponer de tus cenizas segun tu voluntad y me faltan las fuerzas para ir, pero ire. Estare ahi contigo, no dandote el ultimo adios, eso no, porque se que estaras siempre con nosotros.

Tienes un nieto hermoso, saludable y fuerte, a quien quiero con toda mi alma. Cada vez que lo miro me viene a la mente la foto en que estas de bebe en el cochecito, se te parece mucho.

Al irte has dejado un vacio en todos que nada puede llenar, ni siquiera las nuevas vidas que Dios nos envio para servirnos de consuelo. Al menos se que estas con Toñita, papa y mama. Pero yo me he quedado inmensamente sola, pues mas que una hermana se me ha ido la madre que siempre fuiste para mi.

Mil veces perdon por los malos ratos que te di en la vida, pero se que siempre supiste que te queria mucho.

Te adorare siempre, no te digo adios sino un hasta luego. Espero que estes a mi lado a la hora de mi partida.

Tu hermana, Carina.
