Loved reading this, René. It must have been such dark dark days, during the junta and afterwards. One time when in BA our taxi driver who we'd become friends with said, You have to see this. He drove us to the War Memorial, with all those names and ages, heartbreakingly young, so many under 20-rather similar to the Wall in DC. It was crushing, we were the only ones there, the river--the dastardly river--so close. We spent some time walking btwn the walls. I'm so glad poetry/writing 'saved' you, along with luck, perseverance, and those angels.
I hope it doesn't sound like a cliche, and even if it does, the truth sometimes does. I'm glad you got to visit my amazing city. Thank you for your great comment. The second chapter of my Substack saga continues today. Wish me luck! 🙏
Isn't it? You're so right about that! I'm showing up now; just give me an hour or so. Thank you!! 🙏
very nice and profound
Thank you! ✌️
Samuel, I'm coming up with part 2. I hope you enjoy it. Just giving you the heads up. 🌱
Gracias. Mi esposo estaba de San Luis. San Luis de 1940. Otro mundo. Su substack es para mi un abrazo.
Lindo comentario! "Un abrazo"... es una manera tan positiva de decirlo. Eres poetisa?
You've come along way and I'm glad you're here on Substack. TGIF and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Sorry I'm so late replying! How did I miss this earlier? Thank you, Karen!!! ❤️
I can’t wait for part 2! ❤️
Wonderful that we're able to see from your point of view here. Didn't know you grew up in Buenos Aires.
I did! You'll like this post (I hope).

PS: The comment at 3:01 about the cliché was meant for you!
Missed it, don’t know where to locate it.
Not yet. I'm finishing it right now.
Awesome perseverance and enlightened intentions Renè!
PS I love Buenos Aires, Argentina forever my favorite country in South America🌹
And mine! 🥂🤟🏿☝️
