Blog 5 - A Meaningful Picture

Good afternoon, dear students.

Hoping you are enjoying this weekend, in today’s blog I will talk about one meaningful picture for me.

I consider myself a very sentimental person, and photographs are short extracts of significant instances of our lives, whether these can be representations of relevant periods of our lives or simply instants of our daily lives. These are forever printed memories.

In this picture, though, I will describe a part of my heart that is faraway gone.

 Her name was Cucky, although in my mind was always Cucky Ramos Valencia. She was a mixed breed and part of my life for 17 years. Besides my human family, she was the only living being that watched me grow since childhood until adulthood. My companion, my pet, my Cucky <3.

 

This last picture is the relevant one, because the previous one was only the formal presentation to you all hehe. In this picture, we can see a very old and grumpy Cucky, who is taking her last bath in her life. I wanted her to look fresh and clean since it was summer, and it was a good day for her as well.

I remember taking this picture thinking about how much time left she had in my life. Now that I watch it again (I don’t usually review these pictures because it still moves me to tears to think about her), it surprises me how much I loved her and how much she loved me.

I remember a younger version of myself being taking cared of by her while I was swimming at the pool and, years later, how the roles were reversed, and I was the one taking care of her.
