United by Love
It was the year 2020, in two different places, a small town and a large border city, where two sisters lived far apart. One of them was Raquel, 74 years old; the other, Rosa, 77 years old. The two sisters, friends too, since they were little girls, they were always very close, they had an unconditional love for each other, because every time a problem happened to one of them, the other went running to help each other, whatever he did. One is always missing the other.
One day, Raquel fell ill with a high temperature and also lacked air to breathe. She lasted three days sick at home, and, on the fourth day after she fell into bed, they took her to the hospital, where she was immediately given anti-inflammatory and dehydration medication. And, since the poor woman was also short of breath, she was given oxygen. Her internment lasted only five days, since on the fourth day of her stay there, she began to get worse.
At night, the doctors inserted an oxygen tub in her; The next day in the morning, when her relatives went to visit her, they found the news that Raquel had an oxygen tub in her from the night before, because she lacked oxygen. That day, Raquel continued like this; but, unfortunately, she did not improve and that same day she passed away.
Raquel’s children broke the news of her mother’s death to Rosa, her sister who lived far away from her. When Rosa found out that her sister had ceased to exist, at that moment she wished with all her heart to travel that long distance that separated them, to be able to see her beloved sister one last time and attend her funeral. her.
But she, unfortunately, she couldn’t go. In all parts of the world, for six months, people lived with an extreme sanitary fence, where, even, they had to stay at home protected. If they did leave the house, they should just go to the supermarket to buy groceries and the pharmacy in case they needed a medication. Oh, and they had to go out protected with gloves and masks that, immediately, when leaving the supermarket or pharmacy, they had to throw in the trash. They might be already infected with the virus of the century, replacing them with clean ones, so as not to infect others.
The family coming home. So much so that the situation of this pandemic became that the two sisters never saw each other again, as they used to. Today, only the memory of those two women remains, who fought against all odds to be the best as daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and, above all, friends. Damn Covid-19! He took one of them from us.
Now, Rosa will continue living with love and the memory of her sister and her friend, Raquel de Ella.

Unidas por el Amor
Corría el año 2020, en dos diferentes lugares, un pueblo pequeño y una gran ciudad fronteriza, en donde vivían dos hermanas alejadas por la distancia. Una de ellas era Raquel, de 74 años de edad; la otra, Rosa, con 77 años de edad. Las dos hermanas, amigas también, desde que eran niñas siempre fueron muy unidas, se tenían un amor incondicional entre ellas, pues cada vez que le sucedía algún problema a una de ellas, la otra acudía al encuentro a auxiliarse mutuamente, lo que le hiciera falta una a la otra.
Un día, Raquel cayó enferma con mucha temperatura y le faltaba también el aire para respirar. Ella duró tres días enferma en casa, y, al cuarto día de su caída en cama, la llevaron al hospital, en donde inmediatamente le suministraron medicamentos anti-inflamatorios y para la deshidratación. Y, como la pobre mujer iba también con falta de aire, le pusieron oxígeno. Internada duró tan solo cinco días, ya que al cuarto día de su estancia ahí, su salud empeoró.
Por la noche, los doctores la intubaron; al día siguiente por la mañana, cuando sus familiares fueron a visitarla, se encontraron con la noticia de que la noche anterior Raquel había sido intubada, pues le faltaba el oxígeno. Ese día, Raquel continuó así; pero, desgraciadamente, no mejoró y ese mismo día falleció.
Los hijos de Raquel le dieron la noticia del deceso de su madre a Rosa, la hermana que vivía lejos. Cuando Rosa se enteró de que su hermana había dejado de existir, en ese momento deseaba de todo corazón recorrer esa larga distancia que las separaba, para poder ver por última vez a su querida hermana y asistir a su funeral.
Pero, lamentablemente, no pudo ir. En todos los lugares del mundo, desde hacía seis meses, se vivía con un extremado cerco sanitario, en donde, inclusive, se debía permanecer en casa resguardados y, si llegaban a salir de casa, deberían hacerlo nada más al supermercado a comprar víveres y a la farmacia por si necesitaban un medicamento. ¡Ah! y tenían que salir protegidos con guantes y cubrebocas que, inmediatamente, al salir del supermercado o farmacia, tenían que tirar a la basura, porque ya estaban infectados con el virus del siglo, reemplazándolos por otros limpios.
Para no contagiar a la familia llegando a casa. Tan así se tornó la situación de esta pandemia que, las dos hermanas ya no volvieron a verse nunca más como lo hacían de costumbre. Hoy por hoy, solo queda el recuerdo de aquellas dos mujeres, que lucharon contra viento y marea por ser lo mejor como hijas, hermanas, madres, abuelas, bisabuelas, y, sobre todo, amigas. ¡Maldito Covid-19! Nos arrebató a una de ellas.
Ahora, Rosa seguirá viviendo con amor el recuerdo de su hermana y amiga Raquel.
