the chance to teach me about it...
He asked my forgiveness for not having been able to teach me to choose a love
that would be good for me. He apologized that we never spoke about it and for
not warning me as much as he wished. He spoke to me of longing, of admiration,
and of his certainty that I would clear this karma of unfaithful relationships and
step into a new phase. He said he believed in me and that he didn’t want me to
suffer like this anymore.
I really needed to remember how much I had already been loved. I needed to
remember how good it was when people laughed with me and rejoiced in my
presence. The meeting with my grandfather filled my heart with love, confidence,
and hope.
I will never, ever forget that day. I lived it knowing it was a moment that would
take up residence in my memory forever.
I ended the session both crying and smiling, with a tight longing for my
grandfather, but with the certainty that it will be up to me to change the course
of these incomplete, hostile stories. I belong to Love, and I will find someone
gentle, steady, loving, left-wing, a dreamer. Someone who loves music, poetry,
and cherishes the best values in the world.
Thank you, Adriana, for this healing, restorative, deeply respectful, creative, and
affectionate experience. Thank you, Grandpa, for being so alive in my heart! I love
you, my economist, my poet, my friend. You saved me once again, Grandpa. I will
make you proud of me.”
