Alenome, the friend I will always remember
It was saturday, January 6, I dont remember the time... I was having a morning nap at my girlfriend's house, if I remember correctly, then my brother called me... the word was that he was dead.

Off course, I couldnt believe it at first, we had just talked last week, he was so excited to have his wii... I had also wished him a merry new year last week. But it was true, and a bit after midday we were at the church, giving Alejo our last visit. Some friends came, some were missed, it was a sad moment, regardless of the words of hope everybody wanted to say. It was even more sad when I talked to his mom, and she told me Alejo was very fond on me.

I had to know... off course, we were friends from the school, but since he "changed" I think he kept losing and losing contact with his prior friends, due to his particular way of living and seeing life. I always tried to keep in touch, to hear him, to read his writings, I always found them amusing, although I must confess I was not ready (or willing) to fully understand what he wanted to say, and I know he knew that, but nonetheless, we were kind of happy to see we could get to understand and hear each other ramblings.

A month ago, he told me about http://alemeele.blog.terra.com/ there he put some of his writings.... later on, when he was gone already, I got to go to his house, I got to see his small collection of writings, which I now keep for the future. They are worth for the people seeing them, and I hope I can help him on this. I also got to see his last work, which I keep for me.

He had such a clear notion of life! at least, thats what he got himself to believe, and I believed him... but I am sad to see unworthy events made him lost that same sight, and fall to the limits of his own self due, as I see it, to a conflict between his idea of human life, and his own life, with problems and limitations.

I still cannot understand Alejo, why did you stumble uppon that small obstacle? or was the obstacle so big I couldnt see it? We have lost a person, a very special person which was meant to affect the world in a possitive way. I will always remember you Alejo. I will always remember you were waiting for the next version of DrashRL to test it. I will always remember your negative comments about CvRL. I will always remember your rightness on the way of talking and speaking, your choses on nouns and verbs, your vanity sometimes, when you recognized in your work a masterpiece, or at least something you thought you couldnt have written. I will always remember you, everytime I see a Nintendo console, or a pretty ingenious game which you would surely have liked, even though I may never again touch them, and don't ask me why. I will always wonder what would have happened if you had given me a call, but it is not worth thinking about it now. I will remember you, you can count on that.

It's always hard when someone you see frequently is suddenly gone. But I suppose death is just another part of life and it's a rather difficult thing to prevent, many times. Hope you feel better soon, Santi! I'll send you an email...
