There are times in life when an event occurs exactly where it happened. When the noise of the world dissolves into a whisper. When the heart is silent before the mind can understand what the eyes have just seen.
Today is one of those days.
A true legend has left us.w
And when you understand who he is, when he really strikes you, tears don’t just flow. They flow in rivers.
Not because that person was just famous. Not because his name was popular on television or appeared on the front pages of newspapers for a few hours.
But why they were important.
They were important for a generation.
They were imported for the family.
It wasn’t just a person he entertained. He was someone who, in silence, shaped the lives of others. A voice that has guided us through difficult times. A smile that seemed familiar, even comforting. A presence that was intertwined with our daily life: in our childhood, in our feasts, in our healing.
Some of us grew up with them.
Others among us support their work even on the darkest nights.
Others among us find love, joy and happiness in what we create together.
They were with us during our infirmary visits. At graduation ceremonies and in the most heartbreaking moments. During laughter in shops and solo but fulfilling afternoons.
And now they’re gone.
