November 2 is a day of deep emotions and in which memories come to our memory without pause, with intense feelings of all kinds. Who doesn’t have someone to remember on this day, a loved one who went ahead of us on the inevitable journey. Perhaps it is a day in which differences are cushioned or perhaps the differences are only the forms of representation of what is on the other side of life or the other side of death. The wonderful film “Coco” _ about Mexican culture _ has given us a very picturesque and hopeful perspective on the Day of the Dead, a way to approach the afterlife with a tribute to the ancestors, reclaiming memory as a way to remain in the future. life, mitigating errors and trying to save the guilt that is transmitted from generation to generation. If something could be capitalized on, it is that true death is oblivion. In this coming and going of memories and nostalgia for those who are not there, for that door that closes on us with questions in the face of each loss, I would like to recover an expression of a character that is very much ours and very loved, such as the gaucho priest José Gabriel Brochero: “I have been able to glimpse that I will always live in the hearts of my people, since the life of the dead is in the memory of the living.” For our loved ones, who live in our memory and feed our hope in reunion; because, as Saint Paul affirms, faith and hope will pass away, but love will be eternal.
