After school and college, they stuck together on all the important dates.
The friendship between the women started at different times in high school and later in college. Over the decades, they accompanied each change in each other’s lives, were present at graduations, weddings and the birth of children.
The relationship that lasted more than fifty years Edelmira Toledo Cândido, 78 years old, Sylvia Cesco, 78 years old, and Aparecida Bueno Nogueira, 75 years old, guarantee to be forever.
Colégio Estadual Campograndense was the place where it all began. The institution, which today is the Maria Constança Barros Machado State School, provided the meeting that resulted in the creation of an affective bond.
Sylvia and Aparecida were the first to meet in high school. At the time, Aparecida remembers that she had taken the entrance exam to enter the school where she didn’t know anyone. “I had no idea how it worked, for me it was very strange. Soon I started seeing that girl with the ponytail, she was very graceful, we ended up getting closer and soon we felt empathy, we became friends ”, she recalls.
Sylvia reports that there was a different way to her, but that in the end one chose the other. “It was a very spontaneous approach. I was more extroverted, so I was making a lot of friends and she was more withdrawn. We got closer, she chose me to be her friend and I chose her. It was an inseparable friendship,” she says.
The complicity between both began to be experienced beyond the classrooms and reached the families, as one frequented the other’s house. After their childhood ended, they shared their early teenage years together.
Aparecida remembers that the school developed several activities that provide constant coexistence. For her, this phase was something that was marked. “We had a very close adolescence, then we took the scientific course together as well. The school offered us a lot of disciplines, all the parties took place around the school, this made it possible to have a great coexistence and that left an impression on us”, she emphasizes.
Sharing the same school routine, Edelmira belonged to another group of girls, but even so, unintentionally, she met Aparecida during one of her class breaks. “We met there, I went to that school and we met there in the courtyard and we went to college together from 1964 onwards”, she says.
The three took the entrance exam to study Literature at the former Fucmat, which today is known as UCDB (Dom Bosco Catholic University). Only in college does Sylvia explain that she met Edelmira and another important person for the group.
“Edelmira and Marisa Serrano met on the course, because when Cida and I finished high school we went to study Literature and there were Edelmira and Marisa”, he says.
Attending higher education from 1964 to 1968, the quartet became a large group. “We were a group of 10 friends. In college, it became known as the 10 group”, reveals Sylvia.
At ten, according to Aparecida, they were lively and always took advantage of the opportunities that life offered. For this reason, it didn’t take long for each one to pursue a professional career and start working in the area. “It seems that our class was so excited and we didn’t waste time, an opportunity arose and we were there”, she points out.
The period was marked by individual experiences that were shared in class meetings or through phone calls. Both professionally and socially, they remained united, especially Sylvia, Aparecida, Edelmira and Marisa.
When the wedding phase arrived, one was at the other’s ceremony and the same happened after the birth of the children. “Because we were friends, we were godmothers to each other’s children, godmothers at each other’s weddings”, explains Sylvia.
Edelmira sums up the bond of love and companionship she has with them. “It’s not that everyday friendship, but that friendship that you don’t lose sight of. When the person needs it, when they are celebrating and in the important moments of our lives, we were together ”, she emphasizes.
She reports that due to the time they lived together, friendship turned into brotherhood. “As life changes, interests, some of these friendships remain, these longer friendships are people who are like sisters”, she points out.
With the perspective that nothing has changed since high school, Sylvia guarantees that the relationship with her friends is essential. “In these days, so hazy days, of lack of love, cultivating friendships is something healthy, something that keeps us full of life. It’s what excites us,” she declares.
Knowing that life is complicated without a friend, Aparecida doesn’t know the secret that has kept the group together until today. For her, affinity and affection were feelings that happened and that was enough for the relationship to cross generations. “I think we don’t, we have this experience and what unites us is this complicity, it was such a great affinity”, she concludes.
