Dear Santi

Is already one month that you did left us… but is still impossible to accept that! Not all the pictures, movies and songs I have from our relationship will help me enough to feel better as is doing all the love and the beautiful moment we did shared together.

Reading all the comments from your friends in this blog make me think of all the evening we spent talking about mine and your country… when you were telling me about your beautiful family, the huge number of cousin you have, all your friends and the big reunion you were used to make when you were coming back home! How many names to remind!! you did love it so much… and was beautiful listen to you talking about that… I used to close my eyes and imagine everything as if we were there!!

And your life at the farm… with your parents, the dog that also if you were replacing it you were giving to the new one always the same name: “Blitz”… you said it was easier to remind!! que loco!! your love for horses… polo… and how many details about your time playing with your brothers… and your loved granpa… Andrès, where you used to stop by after school and spend the afternoon with, chatting and eating… probably a banana with doulce de leche… the real argentinian one!!

.

Your country and your family was always in your heart… together with the falk argentinian music that you made me love… quanta chacarera!!!

Was always beautiful lissen to you and Matias playing together, and Carina too… Chacarera, Chacarera doble, Lunita… quanta musica… quanta allegria… quanta pizza!!! so much snow outside in Madison, and so warm inside our house with all this music!

And if you were not working or playing guitar... let’s go for a run or a bike-ride, with your yellow bike (Pampita was its name…) !! que fiacha” you used to tell me when I was complaining because I was tyred… but you wanted to go running outside also when it was snowing!! only your friend Antonio wanted to join you, and you were coming back with the ice on your face, but so happy! How you were satisfied after you finish the “half ironmen” last year!! You did that with so much passion, as you used to do everything!! You were always thinking about something new to do..

And “que artista”…when I saw for the first time your draws I couldn’t believe that you did it… horses everywhere, and you told me that you took that ability from your father: “Alberto draws better than me” you used to say…

And then Barcelona…we took that decision together, and is helping me a lot knowing that you were having a good time there... still biking with your loved friend Ignacio… probably talking about caws!!! or rumen infusionJ))), and maybe a new race to run!!

.

I know that now there is a new Angel that will take care of me and the great number of person that loved you. Wherever you are please keep smiling, playing guitar and singing with your wonderful voice... as you were used to do when you were with all of us…

You were one of the most sweet person I’ve ever met Santi, and I will keep in my heart all we did shared together… I will miss you a lot!!

See you Santi..sometimes..somewhere…

Un abrazo grande!!!!

Francesca...
