El Valladolid de Manuel /He visitado a tu Cristo/Paseando por La Trinidad,/remotos aires de orfandad/a mi memoria han venido.

Por San Ignacio subimos/hacia el Santo de Guzmán./San Quirce y San Nicolas,/Brígidas donde fui niño.

Moreras y San Benito/Para ti han dado recuerdos./A San Pablo he saludado/y al Zorrilla, mi instituto.

Felipe segundo arriba/Para bajar por San Blas/Hacia Angustias y Libertad./¡Semanas Santas dolidas!

Por tus huellas he pisado/y tú has venido conmigo.7Tuyos fueron mis sentidos,/juntos hoy hemos rezado.

2020, Playa de la Caleta, Cádiz, España

Escrito desde "El Mirador de los Farallones", junto a la que fue tu casa:

Rojos farallones me contemplan,/lento a sus pies discurre el rio,/sin ganas.

Es un tiempo detenido,/el sol abrasando el alma,/la tierra quemando el día.

Hora sin reloj ni minutos/cuando la vida invade mis ojos,/que son los tuyos.

Un rumor en las hojas del álamo,/y el habla indescifrable de los pájaros,/escuchan mis oídos,/que son los tuyos.

Indiferente, el viento me acaricia el alma,/suave me susurra que estás,7que somos.

Porque te prometí mis sentidos./Porque la vida confirma/que eres, que soy,/el río y el cielo,/las flores, los colores.

Eres, soy,/el viento en las mariposas,/en las hojas, en las ramas.

Eres, soy,/el aire que sostiene pájaros e insectos.

Eres lo que respiro y toco,/Somos, soy,/cada lágrima en los ojos.

Somos, soy,/la emoción, el amor, el miedo,/Somos, soy,/la caricia, el abrazo, la fuerza de tu mano.

Soy yo, soy tú.

Porque vivo en ti, vives en mí./Porque tú no puedes ser,/Porque no puedo ser yo.

Junio 2024. Tres años.

2024, Area Fundacional, Ituzaingó, Mendoza, Argentina
He empezado a pensar que estás en el otoño, / En su luz que a través del cristal aún calienta / Mientras se va a otros pagos con su caricia lenta, / Las castañas caídas y la flor del madroño; // En las hojas que bajan a besar las acequias, / Las montañas azules de acuarela lejana, / En la lánguida siesta de silencio de lana / Y mi mente que vaga imaginando entelequias; // Las nubes de algodón, las cosas amarillas, / Las tardes delicadas como un suspiro leve, / Los insectos pequeños que, tras su vida breve, / Morirán en silencio las muertes más sencillas. // He empezado a pensar que estás en todo aquello / Que me visita el doble y que es ancho y profundo, / Porque yo necesito que estés en este mundo / Para poder creer que aún puede ser bello.

Hoy han llegado las flores / …
2023, Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, Argentina
Hoy han llegado las flores / Del almendro a mi cochera, / Anunciando los albores / De una nueva sementera. // Hoy entra el sol en mi casa / Por una ventana abierta / Y, con su luz aún escasa, / Pregunta si estoy despierta. // Hoy me recuerda la vida / Que el mundo sigue girando, / Y que yo sigo perdida, / Porque te sigo esperando.

Today we celebrate the life of Manuel. Manuel made an impact on those around him. His caring nature shined through whether through conversation or through his actions, and Manuel bettered the lives of those around him. I will always be in awe of his strength and fortitude as he persevered through life's challenges while pursuing school and living abroad. His passion for horses and his ambition for learning is what drew me to him. He was very easy to like. 

Manuel had a playful side to him that was quite intriguing. He would ask me how my horses were almost everyday and I would send him silly pictures of faces they were making or what we were up to that day. Our dogs were always included and came on more dates with us than not. The three of them were characters - Morgan graciously accepted us, while my dog, Molly, promptly stole his bed and toy. Morgan didn't love that!

Manuel's thoughtfulness brought out the thoughtfulness in me. He made me feel safe to care for him and made me want to reciprocate his thoughtfulness. One of the last gestures I was able to do for him was to bake him cookies. At the time not realizing what was going on, I look back now and am glad he was able to see that I cared for him through my actions too. 

My fondest memory is watching Manu light up as he was grooming my horses. Both my horses enjoyed it very much, and one of them can be a tough critic! It spoke to Manu's care and experience with horses for him to win Boomer over, and that's not an easy feat!  

While we take today to celebrate the life of Manuel and share stories of his impact and accomplishments, my heart feels for his family and friends that feel his immense loss today and everyday.

A quote by Jamie Anderson that speaks to me, "Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."

With Manu there is so much love left with no place to go.  That love pours out to his family and the animals around me, in his honour.

Me gusta recordarte sobre los…
Me gusta recordarte sobre los blancos muros / Por donde se descuelgan cataratas de flores / De algún patio andaluz que albergó los albores / De tu juventud nueva y cargada de futuros. // Me gusta recordarte envuelto en los olores / Del trabajo en el campo, tan humildes y puros, / El del heno cortado y los tomates maduros, / Del mar y de la sierra, tus exilios de amores. // Me gusta recordarte con la eterna sonrisa / De quien cree en la fortuna del trabajo esforzado, / De quien siembra amistades en la tierra que pisa. // Me gusta recordarte siempre tan entregado, / Todo pasión valiente y voluntad insumisa. / Me gusta recordarte, sobre todo, a mi lado.
2023, Wilmington, OH - Alcalá de Henares, Madrid
"A veces, en la noche, despierto sin motivo / Y acude a mi memoria, como un rayo certero, / El recuerdo tiernísimo de tu abrazo postrero / Y me olvido un momento de que ya no estás vivo. // Pues, si cierro los ojos, todavía percibo / Ese beso en la frente de cariño sincero, / Ese olor familiar de tu abrigo de cuero, / Y, en el silencio oscuro, hasta tu voz concibo. // Cómo vas a estar muerto, si te tengo delante / Y te veo, el de siempre, tan nítido, tan claro, / Con tu sonrisa eterna y tu mirada brillante. // ¿Cómo vas a estar muerto? ¡Me parece tan raro! / Si tu amor por la vida y tu trabajo constante / Me alumbran todavía y me guían como un faro."

Morgan, el perro más bueno, noble y cariñoso del mundo y añado .... precioso perro que logró conquistar a la tía Pepa, poco amante de los animales (confiesa). Te he llorado mucho Morgancito, pero seguro que tenías que irte pronto con tu amo, que te habrá recibido con los brazos abiertos. Quiero imaginarte corriendo hacia Manu con tu porte elegante y me emociono imaginando ese tierno y amoroso encuentro de dos amigos inseparables.

Buen viaje Morgan.

Morgan concluyó su viaje por este mundo a las 14:19 hoy.

Un lejano día alguien quiso que hiciérais ese viaje juntos. Desde entonces fuiste “su saco de manchas” y recorristeis países, atravesasteis mares y océanos y nunca os separasteis. Fuisteis felices el uno con el otro, hasta que una mala pasada, de esas con las que golpea la vida, os separó. Pero seguiste siendo el perro más bueno, cariñoso y noble del mundo. Al igual que amaste a todos, has sido también amado por muchos, hasta tu día.

“There hi goes, buen viaje Morgan”, te gritaron desde la terminal del aeropuerto de Toronto en el momento en que te embarcaban; volvíais a casa.

Buen viaje Morgan, volveréis a ser felices, juntos de nuevo, en el no-lugar, no-tiempo, donde ahora mismo estarás reuniéndote con quien decidió que serías amado para siempre.

Creo que ahora puedo escribir unas palabras para mis queridos primos que han perdido un hijo.

Recuerdo cuando Teresa y yo íbamos presumiendo de nuestras barrigas de embarazadas, todo entusiasmo y deseos de ver esas caritas. Sois unos padres maravillosos (y no te cuento nada de su gran hermana Lucia)

No encuentro palabras de consuelo. Solo deciros que siento no poder ayudaros de otra manera, pediros que si nos necesitáis para lo que sea no tenéis nada más que decirlo

ESCOCES DE POEMA

Puedes llorar porque se ha ido, o puedes

Sonreír porque ha vivido.

Puedes cerrar los ojos

Y rezar para que vuelva,

O puedes abrirlos y ver todo lo que ha

dejado;

Tu corazón puede estar vacío

porque no lo puedes ver

o puede estar lleno del amor

que compartiste.

Puede llorar, cerrar tu mente, sentir el

vacío y dar la espalda,

O puedes hacer lo que a el le gustaría:

Sonreír, abrir los ojos, amar y seguir

Espero que os sirva un poquito de consuelo.

Gracias por contar con nosotros en ese emotivo recuerdo de Manuel.

2020, Alcalá de Henares, España
Pienso, si dejo la ventana abierta, / Que llegarás volando hasta mi casa / Y que entrarás por la rendija escasa / Y que me encontrarás aquí despierta. // Siempre esperando para ver si pasa / El tiempo que hay entre el patio y la puerta / Pero no pasa nunca, ya no acierta / A andar sin ti el reloj y se me atrasa. // Pienso que si te abro la ventana / Te sentiré llegar hasta mi lado / Y será menos triste esta mañana. // Y que me contarás dónde has estado / De tu voz manifiesta, meridiana, / Y todas las respuestas que has hallado.

Manu, ha pasado un año y se me sigue encogiendo el estómago sólo de pensar que el chico alegre, disfrutón, vivaz, valiente, lleno de coraje vida y amor que conocí en el instituto y cuyas aventuras veía en Facebook está en otro lugar… siempre que paso con el coche delante de la casa de tus padres siento mucho cariño y recuerdo todos los buenos momentos compartidos. Por favor, cuida mucho de tu familia y de tus amigos, trae hoy más que nunca todo ese cariño a ellos, dejaste un vacío muy grande …. 

Teresa, Lucía, Jose Ángel y todos los amigos más cercanos de Manu… Manu os quiere y os cuida todos los días, su energía y su amor no os dejará nunca… un abrazo muy fuerte
