Hello to all the people present
My name is Pepa and I am very happy to be Ana’s friend. However, before focusin only on her, I want to congratulate you both. Jose, I know little about you, but I am convinced, as I have observed, that your relationship will continue to be of great quality.
And now I move on to my friend Ana, you already know that we met each other thanks to Toni, the psychiatrist who predicted that we would never get along. As you have seen, he was wrong. By the way, when you meet Toni, remind her for me\u2026
Toni organized minfulness sessions and, in one of them, you and I met. Remember, Ana? In other words, mindfulness contacted us and, little by little, we became friends. I seem to remember that the sessions were every fiteen days in that elegant and beautiful bookstore in front of the Palau del Marqu\u00e8s de Dos Aig\u00fces. Was his name Leo? Then, some of us would have a cup of wine or a beer in the cafeteria of the Hotel Ingl\u00e9s and I would accompany you to the corner of your house and then continue towards mine. I met other people in the Mindfulness sessions, but only the friendship continued with you, because the time came when we met from time to tiem th chat and catch up on our respective lives.
When the boostore closed, I left the Mindfulness sessions, but contact continued with you and, although there have been periods in which we have seen little of each other or spoken little on the phone, the trust and security in the relationship have always been there.
I could say many things about you, but there are more people whi will want to talk\u2026 The first characteristic of yours that I admired was your enormous organizational skills. Do you remembrer those weekends when we locked ourselves in some center outside the city to have marathon mindfulness sessions? You were always the one in charge and everything always turned out very well. Also your ability to sacrifice yourself: you were the first to enter, to welcome us, and the last to leave, to leave everything in order.
Another quality of yours that I have enjoyed has been your ability to listen, being patient while listening, and energy to propose solutions. I could talk for a long time, but you never interrumped and when I finished, you started asking me questions to offer options for help. You handle active listening very well. Much more thant talking about yourself, when you have had so many reasons to do so and seek comfort and understanding.
Before finishing, I would like to tell you that you are a person who puts great passion into things and your experiences and the fact that you are very courageous despite the difficult moments that you have had to live through.
And, in closing, I want to return to Jose. First of all, Ana’s friendship has been a gift that I value very much and that I will try to continue taking care of. And now to both of you: may your life be full of meaningful, rewarding and enriching moments.
A very strong hug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
