La amistad es una relación afectiva entre dos personas que, generalmente, no tienen lazos de sangre. Hay quienes no creen en ella, y aunque entablan lazos de cordialidad con otros, son reservados. Por lo general, nuestra visión de la amistad está muy ligada a la experiencia personal desde la infancia; casi todos hemos tenido un amigo que no resultó ser lo que esperábamos.
He tenido el mejor ejemplo de lo que es la amistad sincera y verdadera. Con acciones, dos mujeres me demostraron que es un valor real y genuino y no una utopía. Mi mamá es una persona muy amiguera y solidaria, quien a sus 75 años tiene muchas personas que la aprecian de verdad. Más de uno la considera como una madre, hermana y una persona que merece afecto.
De todas sus amigas, hay una con la que realmente ha entablado lazos fuertes y duraderos que he visto desde que nací: Celina. Ellas se conocieron desde que eran niñas porque eran vecinas. María, mi mamá, fue una joven aventurera, arriesgada, como decimos en mi tierra: “echada para adelante”, mientras que Celina fue más comedida, muy católica y centrada en la familia, se casó, tuvo 3 hijos y se dedicó a ser esposa, madre, hija, hermana, vecina y amiga toda su vida.
Desde que nací he disfrutado la presencia de Celina en mi vida, ella representa para mí a mi tía, una hermana para mi mamá, y ha estado presente durante todos los momentos importantes de la vida de mi mamá y la mía. Además, es mi madrina de confirmación.
Celina es una de las mejores personas que he conocido en mi vida: visitaba enfermos, daba de comer a los menos favorecidos, compartía con los más necesitados, nada conflictiva y a la vez muy divertida. Su capacidad de empatía era asombrosa.
María y Celina compartieron juntas muchos momentos de alegría, tristeza, miedo, rabia y dolor. Aunque en la adultez no eran vecinas, se visitaban y llamaban de manera permanente, por lo que se tenían presente en sus vidas.
El 29 de marzo del 2018, un jueves santo, recibimos una escalofriante llamada: Celina había sufrido un infarto y se encontraba recluida en un hospital. Mi mamá, mi papá y mi persona salimos de inmediato hasta donde estaba hospitalizada. Al llegar, en las afueras del centro estaba toda su familia, amigos, vecinos…Celina estaba en sus últimos momentos de vida.
De inmediato le permitieron la entrada a mi mamá –su entrañable amiga- quien le expresó todo el amor que sentía por ella y lo especial que era en su vida. Cuando salió de la habitación, Celina partió de este plano terrenal, era como si esperara escuchar por última vez a ese ser tan especial que la acompañó a lo largo de su vida.
Recientemente se cumplieron 3 años del fallecimiento de Celina. Con su muerte, una parte de mi mamá se fue con ella. Todavía, de vez en cuando, llora a su amiga, la extraña demasiado, siempre que hablamos me dice que no hay un día en que no piense en ella, que nada es igual desde que no está.
Para mí realmente es enigmático que dos mujeres tan diferentes hayan establecido lazos tan fuertes. Dios se llevó muy pronto a una mujer valiosa, un ángel terrenal que pasó por esta tierra dejando huellas de amor, y quien, junto a mi mamá, me dieron un hermoso ejemplo de amistad.
Y tu ¿Crees en la amistad?

English version
Friendship is an affective relationship between two people who, generally, do not have blood ties. There are those who do not believe in it, and although they establish cordial ties with others, they are reserved. Generally, our view of friendship is closely tied to personal experience from childhood; we have almost always gone through a friend who did not turn out to be what we expected.
I have had the best example of what sincere and true friendship is. With actions, two women showed me that it is a real and genuine value and not a utopia. My mom is a very friendly and supportive person, who at 75 years old has many people who truly appreciate her. More than one considers her as a mother, sister and a person who deserves affection.
Of all her friends, there is one with whom she has really formed strong and lasting bonds that I have seen since I was born: Celina. They knew each other since they were little girls because they were neighbors. Maria, my mom, was an adventurous, risk-taking young woman, as we say in my homeland: "thrown forward", while Celina was more restrained, very Catholic and family-centered, she married, had 3 children and dedicated herself to being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, neighbor and friend all her life.
Since I was born I have enjoyed Celina's presence in my life, she represents my aunt to me, a sister to my mom, and has been present during all the important moments of my mom's and my life. She is also my confirmation godmother.
Celina is one of the best people I have ever met in my life: she visited the sick, fed the less fortunate, shared with the needy, not at all confrontational and at the same time very funny. Her capacity for empathy was amazing.
Maria and Celina shared together many moments of joy, sadness, fear, anger and pain. Although in adulthood they were not neighbors, they visited and called each other on a permanent basis, so they were present in each other's lives.
On March 29, 2018, a Holy Thursday, we received a chilling call: Celina had suffered a heart attack and was confined to a hospital. My mom, dad and I immediately went out to where she was hospitalized. When we arrived, outside the center were all her family, friends, neighbors... Celina was in her last moments of life.
Celina was in her last moments of life. They immediately allowed my mom - her dear friend - to enter and she expressed all the love she felt for her and how special she was in her life. When she left the room, Celina left this earthly plane, it was as if she was waiting to hear for the last time that special being who accompanied her throughout her life.
It has recently been 3 years since Celina passed away. With her death, a part of my mom went with her. She still, from time to time, cries for her friend, she misses her too much, whenever we talk she tells me that there is not a day that goes by that she does not think of her, that nothing is the same since she is gone.
For me it is really enigmatic that two such different women have established such strong bonds. God took away very soon a valuable woman, an earthly angel who passed through this earth leaving traces of love, and who, together with my mother, gave me a beautiful example of friendship.

I read in Wikipedia that the characteristics of friendship include affection, kindness, love, virtue, sympathy, empathy, honesty, altruism, loyalty, generosity, forgiveness, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of each other's company, trust, and the ability to be oneself, express one's feelings to others, and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the friend.
