RE: The last memory… 📸 | A picture is worth a thousand words 🖋️ [ENG-SPA]

Dear @vezo, your story has left me breathless and with a heavy heart. You have the gift of transforming an indescribable tragedy into a piece of poignant beauty. I was deeply moved by that image of Mateo —I identify with him— finding eternity in a piece of photographic paper —that is how I live on in the memory of my daughter Sofía— whilst the physical world crumbled around him. You have managed to make the silence of the catastrophe resound powerfully. It is a beautiful tribute to memory, to the love that survives the rubble, and to that deep-rooted connection we have to the land and sea of La Guaira. Thank you for sharing something so intimate and powerful.

I'm so glad you liked the story @amigoponc 🤗. All I've been able to think about is the tragedy we went through; it still seems unbelievable to me—everything that happened. Mateo represents the many who were left with nothing.
