Lourdes Of the River, Journalist of ‘First Impact’ i Univision News, Who was able to deliver the positive result to COVID-19 in July, today it was his turn to share sad news: his father is dying of a virus.
On his Instagram account, De el Rio, who has great communication with his followers on the networks, shared the sad news of the death of his father product of the VOCID-19.
With a series of photos very significant to her, such as her wedding, her father’s visit to Univision and others, the journalist dedicated those words to Instagram.
“There is news that we know will inevitably come into our lives. Yesterday I received one of these. With the transparency that characterizes me, I share with you that my adored father, my hero, one of the greatest loves I have ever had in life, he has departed from this world.
Rafael Antonio Of the Perez River was a great man and the best one of the parents. He was always here in my best and worst moments. I am left with the satisfaction that he lived proud of me. My old man enjoyed each of my successes as if they were his own. And they were because thanks to the opportunities offered to me by him and my mother, I became the woman I am today.
A photographer by profession, and a born communicator, Dad taught me to love images. An excellent chess player and self-taught par excellence, he was always able to hold a pleasant conversation, the same with a trowel as with a lawyer.
It had been years since Alzheimer’s had deprived me of his company and his keen intelligence, and now Covid is taking it all away. For those who think the coronavirus is not real, think again. The enemy is still present and lurking, we must continue to take care.
You know that I try to live my life #EnPositivo and that is why, despite what I feel today, I remind you that pain is part of life, without this point of comparison we could not understand happiness. 🙏🏻
This emptiness I feel in my soul today will diminish over time, but what I am sure of is that what will never diminish is the great love I feel and will always feel for the being who gave me life and went to me. take it by the hand to live it. Rest dear dad, you had a great life and this we celebrate today those of us who love you. Rest in peace. 🙏🏻 “.
