Good morning, friends. Friday and a visit.

I´m feeling fine again and ready for the visit I must make. It is a visit I wish I did not have to do but I learned that one of my closest friends and my late husband´s best chum is very ill. They were both fooball (soccer) players at the same time at a moment when their team was so good that most of the players also belonged to the national team. He called me some time ago telling me what he had and upon telling Humberto, my doctor friend, about it, he said it was very serious. He needed to have an oxygen cylinder nearby but as I have been calling, his wife has told me that he has been more and more in need of it all the time. And that he does not dare eat normal food for fear of choking so that she is mashing and grinding his food. He does not want to read (he was an avid reader) and he is depressed. I asked Lely, his wife, whether I could visit them and she invited me for tea. I´m taking a leche flan (Hugo might be able to eat that) and I already made it yesterday. I will do my therapy by myself at home this morning, eat an early lunch and then call an Uber to cross the city to their house. It will be quite expensive, I´m sure, but there are things you must do. And I don´t know if I will see Hugo again. Our lives have been near even when they lived in the US for several years. I´m sad, friends. I am starting to lose my friends. It is the time of life when that happens. Hugo is 83 years old now. I do wish this was not happening.

I know that life is like that. But it is not something that we accept easily.

This is very sad for you but, as you say, there are some things you have to do.

I am so, so sorry to hear this. We are the oldest survivors of my husband's family. It's all very sad. It's good that you are going to visit him.
