Harmonica is now played in Heaven

Yesterday Paco died. I though that i had to write something about it, just because is a too much serious thing, and a too beloved friend to let his goodbye pass without saying a word. It would have been strange to write something in my blog after his depart, without naming him.

So i think is better to do it now rather than in two weeks. Apart from that, what can someone say in such situation? Yesterday i talked with several friends, and even phone others... and in all cases the reaction was silence, there's nothing left to say, he has gone, and we can't do anything about it.

But, thinking coldly, and that is something that i don't know why i am good at, there are at least three things that confort me.

The first is that i really bealieve that this is just a "see you" rather than a "good-bye". And that in some time, only God knows how long is it going to take me, i will meet him again, and we will just continue making bigger the list of good moments i have had the privilege to share with him... making it bigger for all eternity, that sounds cool.

The second thing is that i don't believe in free christian deads. I believe that somehow, somewhere, sometime, God will use this tricky situation for His glory... i think Paco would be glad to know that. At least i hope that when i die, my death means something good for someone.

The third thing that makes me happy, is to think the huge privilege that God has gifted me meeting Paco. A good friend has left, but at least i have known him, and that is something to be happy with, i can just say "thank you God, thank you Paco".

Although that it's not his best picture, i know that he loved it... i can also imagine, that maybe that is what he is doing now in Heaven... the other options are, playing football with Jesus, and complaining that He doesn't defend enough, or making the Father taste a little bit of his super politically incorrect humour. I will miss him a lot while i await to join him.
