Since
three days ago I am officially 14 years
and 6 months old. I remember very clear
when mom huged me by very first time and I felt her arms.
She
received me with a piece of blanket, and no promises. None of us swore we would
take care of eachother forever. We have not signed a contract, or define our
obligations.
We did not
claim that our love would be forever, I did not say that I would not bite her.
She did not suggest that she would prepare my food or clean up my butt. We did
not signed any document, only we care and give us a love that only few can
understand.
If someone
had told me that she would use as a mouse of laboratory to her ideas, no doubt,
I would have said: "no thanks, Bubu is not a good participant"; same
as if I had told mom that she had to clean my poop, with no doubt she would
have preferred to buy a book.
When
someone knows us, show it to us!, like Champy who has care me since we met. He
has bitten me only once!, but don’t take it wrong, he is not a bad brother, but
I wanted to try his breakfast.
Or what
can I say about my grandmothers!, they love me for who I am and not for what I could
be. They do not see my blindness or my deafness, only look a Bubu and they are glad
because I am still here, elebrating each day as if it were the last, as I have
always lived.
A few days
ago my doctor told mom that any day she decided would be okay to put me to
sleep. Everybody wasscared, I had stomach ache!, so doctor said there is more
nothing to do, that my kidney is broken.
I have
talked a lot with mom about it, because I have seen how she fixes my toys, and
I wonder if she can not glue my kidney,
perhaps with some heavy duty thread, a little bit of special glue and a kiss as she did it with cow or Lion
King... but mom says that it is not possible to do that with my kidney.
So we
enjoyed every second, as we always have
done it. No contracts or promises.
Like flowers during spring, which already have
sprouted to greet me!
We are
walking again and feeling the sun on my
belly while we take care of our garden.
The adventure of life opens roads and I hope to have the opportunity to take a
picture of me surrounded by tulips, because we work hard during the autumn to
see them smiling in spring!
If you ask
me what love is, I would say that love
is the smile that we give every morning, covered with kisses we buy while we
dream, to all we want and. Love is the force that cures all diseases, like a
needle and thread, only that when we break, that love keeps us in memory of those
who we knew someday.
I asked
mama do not cry for me when I leave, but she says that we've never made
promises and we will not begin to spoil all this...
