A person I admire


During my life there have been a lot of science fiction idols like Spiderman and sports idols like Kobe Bryant or Pep Guardiola but there were only childhood idols. Now I’m older, my idols have changed radically.

I opted to follow the steps of a shy and a determined person. He was a person who lived quietly, without making noise and without disturbing others. He lived for his family and cared for them. All my family always said me he was the best person they met. Initially I thought they exaggerated but sometimes they explain me his deeds and I see they don’t exaggerate.

He died with 79 years because of a cancer.  ‘He (God) always takes with him the best’ said my grandmother. He leaved his family and friends without an important part of themselves. Even at the end of his life, marked in the lives of those who loved him. My mother always described me a situation which took place a few weeks before his death. She say ‘it was a day I got out late from work so I said him I will always be there for a moment to greet him. His response was: anything goes’ meaning that even she goes for a short time, is well. For my mother these words marked to her and it mark me too.
