Saying goodbye is never easy.
Today we start preparing the farewell Mauri. The funeral mass was great, it felt very solemn in spite of the simplicity and austerity of our parish. Lourdes, Ana Lucia and Carolina arrived today from the United States. The mixture of pain and dislocation, shock and emptiness is unmatched in moments like this.
After Mass we have moved the wake of my grandmother's house. The experience of solidarity and charity that exists between neighbors, friends and family is rich. Even the smallest support or help is great and is valued as something we can not pay cash!
Tomorrow is the funeral if God permits, and finally give that goodbye Mauri's physical body. It's funny because for those who believe that this is only the beginning of a better life, we are sure that from heaven, and we have someone who cares for us and intercedes for us!

The miracle of life! Rest in peace
Today I woke from a short sleep. After four hours walking around in bed, thinking about returning to Tegucigalpa to come to the wake of my cousin, gave up the idea to rest. It is useless to close my eyes when someone wanted to be ahead of us ... the mind is spinning and as much as we want, we can not stop!
On my way to the bus station, I met a guy who lives by collecting cans and bottles plastic. A bike and several sacks last century are sufficient to do the job early. "Here I am good!" I said, "Tegucigalpa is my big for me, and I should" After listening I've been thoughtful about what is best and most convenient for me, considering that life is going in a "blink of eyes. " Still can not find the answer. Will there be a right? Several years of college are not enough to know what more I conveniene What is life but a long list of successes and failures, sad and happy moments, failed attempts and dreams realized?
And until I get the wake of Mauritius that I realize that life is going, fighting, falling, hurting. The last chapter is not necessarily happier and less painful, but the opposite. We can not decide or when or how to say goodbye. However, in this journey, we can work in the way we want to be remembered, in the difference we will make in the lives of others and the fruits we reap as a result (or that others may reap even when they have more time to see or realize.) Therein lies the miracle of life for me to open my eyes every day and get up with the firm intention to love and make a difference in what you owe. Only love for others, make sense of the struggles, sorrows, falling and suffering!

Why Does Oatmeal Make My Stomach Hurt?
Mauricio Orellana
I have no words and my throat chokes when trying to articulate. I'm in the hotel room in Ceiba, thinking I could enjoy the Carnival to be held tomorrow. Ceiba I arrived just today with 3 friends on vacation plans for the weekend. Once again my plans have been thwarted by Divine Providence. God commands, period. The Almighty always has the last word. My cousin Mauricio Orellana, has just died and for 3 minutes I have called from Tegucigalpa to give me the news. I've been staring at the screen of my blackberry and not think about anything. How explain this feeling so strong and unexpected? You can not. I feel I fall short and will remain so for some time. Again the image of my father deceased for more than 4 years, out of nowhere! And then imagine my mother, just imagine, without saying anything. I think the two and in love with my brothers that you had to Mauri. I think about the fragility of life, much more fragile than a spider web. Then come the memories of Ana Lucia and Lourdes Carol, daughters and wife, respectively, who currently reside in the United States. I think the battle we are fighting humans when we are leaving this world, this time to decide on which one or nothing can help us, and my body twitches. God Only one, totally alone in this special meeting, expected by many but not "notice" forever. The moment when our souls return to their Creator! Would it be like? I still believe and my gaze is lost in the void, did not determine my 3 friends I have a pair. They do not know what to say, to handle the situation is not within their list of options. On the other hand I do not know what to do ... will be up tomorrow when you take the first bus back to Tegucigalpa. Today my cousin is out of the house of the Father, and this will be marked forever in my heart, until the same way when my time is fulfilled, can again to see him again.
