Saying good bye to a dear friend

This summers has been very challenging in lots of ways and last week I found out a very dear to my heart friend was in the hospital. I prayed for him to recover and be good, he was so young and with so much to live but sadly for me he passed away a couple of days ago. He was more than a friend to me, he was my soul brother, the brother I never had. He left behind two beautiful treasures, his kids, my nephew Andres (14) and niece Alexis (10). I know  Alberto will live forever through his kids, they both are such sweet and beautiful souls.
It hurts a lot to know he is not with us anymore, I love him so much. It has been hard for my family, my kids and my husband but I am surprisingly very calm. It hurts deeply but I feel in peace and I know it is because he is with me.
I do not consider myself very good at painting but since I knew he passed away, I have been painting, this has been my way of dealing with my sadness.
Alberto was so talented, a true natural artist. I remember all the years I saw him creating gorgeous Mexican folk art. He was so happy when he was creating, it was a great inspiration to see his work.
I LOVE YOU Betito !
You will always be in my heart !



For you my friend with all my love !!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand about the peace you feel inside. That means you believe in something bigger than his loss and that he's with you.

    Loss is hard, It's still hard 4 years later after losing my step father and I still miss him terribly!! It's incredibly awesome that painting has helped you to heal your heart and even more so that now you are going to share it with all of us. And never ever aplogize for your art - it's beautiful and from your soul and it is perfect!! Love you!
