Every time I see the photograph of José holding two huge rhea eggs in his hands, I remember a photograph of my father, very young, wearing a soldier's uniform. That photograph was taken when he was doing military service, which was compulsory in those years.

My father smoked since he was a child, he told me about it himself. Of course, at that time there were no widespread studies on the health damage that this habit entailed. But when he got older and had a myocardial infarction, the doctors advised him to leave it, which he did not do, it was a form of suicide, despite this I am absolutely convinced that he never intended to kill himself, he just believed that his physical strength would never abandon him.

On the other hand, José never believed in himself; his love for his family and for fishing kept him fairly stable until he succumbed.

They should not really take this as absolute truth, it is all a guess because I never got to know him in-depth, he did not allow himself to be penetrated, only in some conversations did he show sparks of his goodness, of his gift of people, of his loves, but always maintaining a veil, as if she doesn't want anyone to get too close. Perhaps because he knew how it would end and he did not want to cause greater sadness to his close friends.

We weren't friends for many years, I met him one day because of this fly fishing business, he was an in-depth student of the techniques, of the history of fly tying. I had read a lot and had also been in the United States, the mecca of this type of fishing. It had first-rate equipment, clothing, and tying materials, something that was not easy to achieve in this country in those years.

My biggest and most beautiful memory of José was a car trip to Patagonia with two other friends, we were both awake at dawn, me driving and he, surely afraid that I would fall asleep, talking and talking about various topics, fishing pos course but also musical tastes, family, work. It was the moment when he opened the most, that's when I realized his personal frustration. With his father and his medical brothers he was the only one who was not a professional and his job as a state employee did not allow him enough freedom of action to do what he wanted for his family and for himself, it was like a trap that he did not could get out.

I treasure several gifts that he gave me in those few years, two extraordinary flies that he tied for me and that I did not waste time in framing, a book about Argentine and Uruguayan birds, so that "I could learn to see the colors of the feathers that I should use to tie flies ”, he told me; and a Fleetwood Mac CD, a product of the memory of that extraordinary fishing trip.

But one day, without anyone suspecting anything, he shot himself in the head. A couple of weeks before I had invited him to travel with me to Patagonia, to fish, to have fun and to have fun as we did on other occasions, but he said no, he made an excuse. I never imagined that he would do what he did if he gave me signs I did not understand them.

A year later we went with my wife to the 15th birthday of his only daughter who made a video tribute to him where I cried everything that had accumulated at that time.

Many unanswered questions remained in my mind, now after more than five years of that nonsense, I still think about the possible causes of his desperation. I confess that in the early days after that unfortunate decision I was angry with him, for having left his family alone, for not having asked his friends for help, for leaving us empty and confused.

But over time the anger gave way to resignation and from her came good memories and forgiveness.

And speaking of good memories, with those two huge eggs that night they made us the biggest omelet I ever ate.

And as I write this I listen to Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac, I liked watching videos of them from 2018, they are still active and singing better than ever.

_________________________________________________________________


Cada vez que veo la fotografía de José sosteniendo dos enormes huevos de ñandú en sus manos recuerdo una fotografía de mi padre, muy joven, vistiendo uniforme de soldado. Esa fotografía se la tomaron cuando hacía el servicio militar que por aquellos años era obligatorio.

Mi padre fumó desde que era un niño, el mismo me lo contó. Por supuesto que por esos tiempos no había estudios difundidos sobre los perjuicios a la salud que ese hábito conllevaba. Pero cuando se hizo mayor y tuvo un infarto de miocardio los médicos le aconsejaron dejarlo cosa que no hizo, fue una forma de suicidio pese a ello estoy absolutamente convencido que nunca fue su intención matarse, solo creía que su fuerza física nunca lo abandonaría.

En cambio José jamás creyó en sí mismo, el amor por su familia y por la pesca lo mantuvieron medianamente estable hasta que sucumbió.

En realidad no deberían tomar esto como una verdad absoluta, todo es suposición porque jamás llegué a conocerlo en profundidad, no se dejaba penetrar, solo en algunas conversaciones mostraba chispazos de su bondad, de su don de gente, de sus amores, pero siempre manteniendo un velo, como si no quisiera que nadie se acercara demasiado. Quizás porque sabía cómo terminaría y no quería ocasionarles mayores tristezas a sus amigos íntimos.

No fuimos amigos por muchos años, lo conocí un día por este asunto de la pesca con mosca, él era un estudioso profundo de las técnicas, de la historia, del atado de moscas. Había leído muchísimo y también había estado en los Estados Unidos, la meca de esta modalidad de pesca. Tenía equipos, vestimenta, materiales de atado de primer nivel, cosa que no era fácil de conseguir en este país en aquellos años.

Mi mayor y más bello recuerdo de José fue un viaje en automóvil a la Patagonia junto a otros dos amigos, quedamos ambos despiertos a la madrugada, yo manejando y el, seguramente temeroso de que me durmiera, hablando y hablando de diversos temas, pesca pos supuesto pero también gustos musicales, familia, trabajo. Fue el momento en que más se abrió, allí fue cuando me di cuenta de su frustración personal. Con su padre y sus hermanos médicos él era el único que no era profesional y su trabajo de empleado estatal no le permitía una libertad de acción suficiente para hacer lo que deseaba para su familia y para él mismo, era como una trampa de la que no podía salir.

Atesoro varios regalos que me hizo en esos pocos años, dos extraordinarias moscas que ató para mí y que no perdí tiempo en enmarcar, un libro sobre pájaros argentinos y uruguayos, para que “aprendiera a ver los colores de las plumas que debía usar para atar moscas”, me dijo; y un CD de Fleetwood Mac, producto del recuerdo de ese extraordinario viaje de pesca.

Pero un día, sin que nadie sospechara nada, se pegó un tiro en la cabeza. Un par de semanas antes lo había invitado a viajar conmigo a la Patagonia, para pescar, para pasarlo bien y divertirnos como lo hicimos en otras ocasiones, pero me dijo que no, puso una excusa cualquiera. Jamás imaginé que haría lo que hizo, si me dio señales no las entendí.

Un año después fuimos con mi esposa al cumpleaños de 15 de su única hija quien le hizo un video homenaje donde lloré todo lo que había acumulado en ese tiempo.

Muchas preguntas sin respuesta quedaron en mi mente, ahora luego de más de un lustro de aquella tontería todavía pienso en las posibles causas de su acto de desesperación. Confieso que en los primeros tiempos luego de esa desgraciada decisión estuve enojado con El, por haber dejado sola a su familia, por no haber pedido ayuda a sus amigos, por dejarnos vacíos y confusos.

Pero con el tiempo el enojo fue dando paso a la resignación y de la mano de ella vinieron los buenos recuerdos y el perdón. 

Y hablando de buenos recuerdos, con esos dos enormes huevos esa noche nos prepararon la tortilla más grande que comí en mi vida. 

Y mientras escribo esto escucho  Little Lies  por Fleetwood Mac, me gustó ver videos de ellos de 2018, siguen activos y cantando mejor que nunca.

Que historia @hosgug! Hay cosas en esta vida que no tienen respuestas, que pasan sin que nos demos cuenta. Cuando ello sucede y más de esta forma, es un golpe durísimo que cuesta asimilar. 

os decís hoy solo queda recordar los tiempos compartidos y lo bien que la han pasado en sus aventuras con la pesca.

Abrazo!

I am very sad that you lost your friend. Sometimes we just don't understand the pain that others do their best to cope with. Thank you for sharing your good memories with your friend and the photographs.

This post is a lovely tribute.

Thank you! @ sgt-dan. Life is full of sad and happy moments, probably the first ones are the majority but for our luck, we remember much more those that made us happy.

Perdón querido amigo @vgalue, no fue mi intención hacerte recordar tus momentos amargos. El Fondo de pantalla de mi notebook elije fotografías al azar y el viernes estaba esta de los huevos de ñandú y mi querido amigo, recordé muchos momentos alegras y por supuesto el final tan triste, no pude resistir la tentación de ponerlo por escrito.
