Very bad and sad news, Maria CR has passed away. On the 19th.
With her Portenglish she was a true warrior fighting Maddie’s and Amaral’s colours.
About Maddie she never for a single minute accepted the injustice and the disrespect the girl was subject to. And she never accepted for a minute the lies, both the blatant one as well as the ones cloaked as truth.
About Amaral, she accepted all his flaws and understood why he had many of “them”. She knew him to be human like the rest of us and also understood very quickly what he was really up against.
The world has lost a good heart and I have lost a very special friend. Someone who will leave a huge hole in my heart.
Maria and I were friends almost since the beginning of the blog. In fact, one of the many things that is creeping into my mind is not remembering our first encounter. Not that we met in person that often but during these many years we kept in contact so often and closely that very quickly it became a friendship that was much more about the case.
Until today her silence meant that she was just a phone call away. Months would go by, and then one of us would decide to meet up and it was truly like we had met the previous day and were going to meet again the day after. We both knew how much we loved each other.
Now that silence means she’s no longer there. I want to call her and I can’t. The silence has suddenly become palpable and too great to embrace.
I really wish I could write the words she deserved.

Grief is the last act of love we can give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love. May Maria rest in peace. Do take care.
