In mid-2001 a letter attributed to Gabriel García Márquez in which he said goodbye to life before the supposed diagnosis of lymphatic cancer.
The letter had not been written by him. Nobel Prize, that before him stir who was trained had to come to the fore to affirm that the letter was not his, that he was in good health ... and that it hurt him that people thought that he wrote so badly.
The truth is that Márquez writes much better ... but the paper It is not bad at all, especially because of the positive content of its content. Here we leave it for you so that you can enjoy it:
«If for an instant God forgot that I am a rag puppet, and gave me a piece of Life, possibly I would not say everything I think, but ultimately I would think everything I say. I would value things, not for what they are worth, but for what they mean.
I would sleep little, dream more, I understand that for every minute we close our eyes, we lose sixty seconds of light. He would walk when others stop, he would wake up when others sleep. I would listen when others speak, and how I would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream!
If God gave me a piece of life, I would dress simply, I would throw myself face first into the sun, exposing not only my body, but my soul. My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hatred on the ice, and wait for the sun to come up. I would paint a Van Gogh dream about the stars a poem by Benedetti, and a song by Serrat would be the serenade he would offer them to the moon. I would water the roses with my tears, to feel the pain of their thorns, and the red kiss of their petals ...
My God, if I had a piece of life… I wouldn't let a single day go by without telling people that I love them, that I love them. I would convince every woman or man that they are my favorites and live in love of love.
I would prove to men how wrong they are to think that they stop falling in love when they get old, without knowing that they get old when they stop falling in love! I would give a child wings, but let him just learn to fly. I would teach the old people that death It does not come with old age, but with oblivion.
So many things I have learned from you men ... I have learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, not knowing that true happiness is in the way of climbing the steep slope. I have learned that when a newborn squeezes his father's finger for the first time with his little fist, he has it trapped forever. I have learned that a man only has the right to look down at another when he has to help him up. .
There are so many things that I have been able to learn from you, but really they will not be of much use, because when they keep me inside that suitcase, unfortunately I will be dying. "
Always say what you feel and do what you think. If I knew that today was the last time that I was going to see you sleep, I would hug you tightly and pray to the Lord to be the guardian of your soul. If I knew that this was the last time I saw you walk out the door, I would give you a hug, a kiss, and call you back to give you more. If I knew that this was the last time I was going to hear your voice, I would record each of your words so I can hear them over and over again indefinitely. If I knew that these are the last minutes that I see you I would say «I love you" And I wouldn't foolishly assume that you already know
There is always a morning and life gives us another chance to do things right, but in case I'm wrong and today is all we have left, I would like to tell you how much I love you and that I will never forget you. Tomorrow is not assured to anyone, young or old. Today may be the last time you see the ones you love. So do not wait any longer, do it today, because if tomorrow never comes, you will surely regret the day that you did not take time for a smile, a hug, a kiss and that you were too busy to grant them a last wish.
Keep those you love close to you, whisper how much you need them, love them and treat them well, take time to say "I'm sorry", "forgive me", "please", "Thank you»And all the words of love you know. Nobody will remember you for your secret thoughts.
Ask the Lord for the strength of wisdom to express them. Show your Friends how much do you care "
