Memorias de Alvarito

Publicidad Good evening Gloria and my best wishes to you and your family. Its 8.15 pm on Thursday night and I will try very hard to put in writing my memories of your son Alvaro. I think it is not possible for me to adequately express my affection for Alvaro or to describe the moments with absolute clarity, but I will try. 5/3/09 I REMEMBER WHEN JOHN FIRST TOLD ME OF ALVARO, A YOUNG BOY FROM PARAQUAY THAT ARRIVED IN NEW ZEALAND AND THE PEOPLE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITH COULD NOT TAKE HIM. JOHN WAS VERY QUICK TO HELP BY TAKING ALVARO IN UNTIL A NEW HOME COULD BE FOUND FOR HIM. JOHN BROUGHT ALVARO TO OUR HOME TO MEET WITH US SHORTLY AFTER HE ARRIVED. I WAS VERY TAKEN BY ALVARO FROM THE FIRST MOMENT. HE WAS VERY SHY AND SAT QUIETLY IN THE CHAIR, TURNING HIS HAIR IN HIS FINGER. HE LOOKED VERY UNSURED OF HIMSELF. HE WAS INTRODUCED TO MY TWO NIECES BUT WAS TOO SHY TO SPEAK. AT THIS TIME HE WAS GIVEN HIS FIRST KIWI HUG AND HE WAS VERY POLITE AND COURTEOUS AND ALLOWED ME MY HUG. I ASKED ALVARO TO PLEASE COME BACK. SHORTLY AFTER THIS JOHN AND MICHELLE HAD A BARBEQUE AT THEIR HOME AND GUESTS WHO DID A LOT OF TRAVELLING ARRIVED. IT WAS VERY APPROPRIATE AS ALVARO HAD TRAVELLED SO FAR. ALVARO SEEMED A LITTLE MORE CONFIDENT, HE CAME AND SAT WITH US A LITTLE WHILE THEN HE WENT AND HELPED THE MEN COOK THE FOOD ON THE BARBEQUE. HE SEEMED TO ME MUCH MORE CONFIDENT THIS TIME AND HE GOT ON VERY WELL WITH EVERYONE. I REMEMBER HE SMILED A LOT AND JOINED IN THE CONVERSATION EASILY. OF COURSE IT HAPPENED THAT JOHN AND MICHELLE DECIDED TO KEEP ALVARO WITH THEM. JOHN AND MICHELLE SPARED NOTHING TO MAKE SURE ALVARO GOT TO DO A LOT OF ACTIVITIES WHILE HE WAS HERE. OVER TIME THERE WERE BBQS AT OUR HOUSE AND DINNERS AT JOHNS AND MICHELLES. I ASKED ALVARO ONE TIME WHAT HIS FAVORITE MEAL WAS AND HE SAID ARROZ CON LECHE. AFTER SEARCHING FOR THE RECIPE ON THE INTERNET I MADE THE PUDDING ON ALVAROS BIRTHDAY AND WE HAVE A LOVELY DINNER ON THAT NIGHT. ALVARO EAT A LOT OF THE ARROZ CON LECHE. THAT NIGHT WHEN MIKE AND I ARRIVED AT JOHNS, ALVAROS EYES WERE SPARKLING AND HIS SMILE SO BIG, HE CAME AND SAT SO CLOSE TO ME.THEN HE GIGGLED AND SAID WAIT. ALVARO CAME BACK WITH A PUZZLE FOR ME DO, I LAUGH AND SAID, OH SO EASY AND I TRIED THE PUZZLE. VERY QUICKLY I HAD SUCCESS, ALVARO LAUGHED AND I SAID I AM TOO CLEVER FOR THAT PUZZLE. SO HE WENT AWAY AND GO A HARDER ONE AND SERIOUSLY I COULD NOT WORK OUT THE PUZZLE, BUT TWISTED IT THIS WAY AND I TWISTED IT THAT WAY UNTIL IN THE END IT WAS A MESS. ALVAROWAS LAUGHING AND TEASING, "HAVE YOU DONE IT YET." SO HE WENT AND GOT OTHER PUZZLES. IT WAS A VERY GOOD NIGHT AND I LIKED VERY MUCH THAT HE WANTED TO COME SIT WITH ME. SO HE HAD A FUN BIRTHDAY AND HE GOT TO OPEN PRESENTS. I MUST TELL YOU SOMETHING OF JOHN.....JOHN WAS THE KINDEST MAN I HAVE EVERY MEET, HE DID NOT LIKE TO HAVE STRONG DEBATES AND WOULD GIVE IN RATHER THAN HAVE ANY UNCOMFORTABLENESS. JOHN WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEFUL. SOME INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT JOHN.....WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER IN PARACHUTED INTO BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND DELIVERED PRINCE CHARLES AND DIANAS WEDDING INVITATIONS. HE WAS IN THE AIRFORCE AND FLEW OVER PRISON CAMPS. THE PHOTOS WERE USED TO FREE PRISONERS. WHEN HE LEFT THE AIRFORCE HE WORKED MAKING PARACHUTES AND MAY THINKS FROM CANVAS. HE MADE ITEMS FOR TELEVISION COMMERCIALS AND ALSO HARNESSES FOR THE MAKING OF THE MOVIE SHOGUN (STARRING TOM CRUISE). ALVARO WAS STAYING WITH A MAN WITH GREAT KNOWLEDGE AND HUGE COMPASSION. I REMEMBER YOU ASKED ME MANY TIMES IF ALVARO WAS HAPPY AT JOHN AND MICHELLES. I CAN ANSWER THIS VERY EASILY. YES. I SAW HOW HAPPY ALVARO WAS THERE AND HOW WELL HE WAS TAKEN CARE OF. AFTER ALVARO WAS GONE MICHELLE FOUND A NOTE IN A BOOK FROM ALVARO. HE SAID SIMPLY, I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU. I WILL RETURN TO THIS IN THE NEXT EMAIL. OKAY MUST GO NOW BUT I WILL SEND ANOTHER EMAIL TO FOLLOW ON FROM THIS SOON. ALL MY LOVE TO YOU GLORIA, PLEASE SMILE ONCE EVERYDAY AND PLANT THE SEED OF HAPPINESS IN YOUR HEART TO GROW. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THE GIFT OF LIFE, YOU MUST NOT LET A MOMENT GO BY WITHOUT KNOWING THE VALUE OF BREATHING AND WITH EVERY BREATH REALISING WHAT A WONDER GIFT YOU BROUGHT IN THIS WORLD EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME, AND YOU HAVE TWO OTHER GIFTS WHO DESERVE TO SEE THEIR MOTHER SMILE. HUGS AND KISSES LYNNETTE
