The complete letter from the aunt
I never ever thought that in the chapter of life I would see myself writing a letter to you Álvaro.
All of Spain mourns you, Spain has been your mother, your father, your friend. And now all of Spain prays to your family, prays to your friends.
To support those of us who do not understand what this is about, the absurdity, the unnecessary and inexplicable… the unfairness of this match that we have had to play.
And you never gave up on a game, that’s why you wanted to return home, quietly. Without worrying anyone.
They insist on telling us that these young people today have no values, they also tell us that they, at 18, are from another generation.
I don’t buy it, sorry. You have taught us a lesson.
That is not what I have experienced these days at home. I have seen them cry, laugh, I have seen them pray, I have seen them slap each other when another needed it and hold hands… Fall asleep curled up, seeking comfort, I have seen them keep quiet and cry in silence so as not to infect the one they had just left. to do it. Lending a broken shoulder to put the other at the service of his friends.
An entire camp of kids at home also tucking in the one who last saw you, without letting go of him for a minute.
Four days of infinite pain, of comings and goings that have turned my home into eternal reunions, moments of priceless hours of good friendship and love between kids who hoped to have you among them again.
And everything around my table, my organized dishes and rooms occupied by the laughter and cries of real friends, without realizing and without knowing that José and I needed this house full of noise and disorder to be able to understand what it was about. All this…
All of them yesterday wept for you united around a table Álvaro.
These are your friends Álvaro, you chose well boy! Don’t tell me anymore that they don’t know how to do things well, that they don’t understand love, that they don’t know how to cry, that they only go about their business and live life, no, not these kids. I’m sorry.
These kids have taught us a lesson. Of humanity, love and eternal friendship.
To proudly boast of having been a friend of Álvaro Prieto.
