A sister remembers Poffy, her childhood best friend who died, recounting their different personalities, what she learned after losing her, and the family ritual they keep at an avocado tree where they pray the Fofi prayer.
My mom always said that my siblings were my best friends and Poffy really was. She would be a girly girl and play dress up with me, and then she would be a tomboy and go outside and clank cheese with Gadito. But most of all, she was a best friend. And she was my best friend. Fulvi would copy every single thing I would do and say. In fact, I have proof that. While Fulphi was here on Earth, I would teach her. And when Fulphi went to heaven, she was the one teaching me. When Fulphi passed away, I learned the definition of heaven. Heaven is a paradise where everyone's just having fun and I imagine Folfi playing with the other kids and animals. She's probably riding elephants right now. I also learned that Fufi was always going to be with me in my heart. I remember that one night I wasn't feeling well, so I called my mom. She came and I told her that I had felt something in my heart. Years later, after that, my mom told me that I had had a fever and I had felt fulfilled. And she was the one who made it go away. Another thing that I learned was you should never go to bed upset with your loved ones, because you'll never know if that's the last time you'll see them. When Phofi went to heaven, we would go to our avocado tree that she would climb with God Dito. At this tree we would pray the Fofi prayer. I'm so grateful that God gave me goodito and blessed me with Mia so I can have a sister. So I'd like to invite Mia and Gordi up to the stage to come play the football. Play. Sam.
