Ah… I never imagined that writing this letter would be so difficult, perhaps the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.
How do you say goodbye to everything you’ve known and loved? How do you fit an entire journey of experiences, memories and affection into words? And yet, here I am, with a tight heart, writing this small word that is so hard to say: GOODBYE.
They have been wonderful years. My life, although simple, has been full of joyful moments, laughter and unique experiences. I have witnessed so many stories, so many moments that touched my soul. I never lacked anything; I always had a place, a purpose. And although life is never perfect, I cannot complain, because I have been more than fortunate.
I was never ill. I never suffered great hardships. Until today, I had never had to say goodbye to someone close. How strange that sounds! But it’s true. I was lucky to be part of a life filled with affection and meaning. And that, for someone like me, is a true privilege.
Ah… how could I ever forget those loving licks from Manuela, Markos, Mamás, Masto, Mastín, Mastitwo, Max, Macarena, Mató, Maky… Ah, the Makys! They never failed. Always so attentive, so close. They knew what I carried inside, they knew there was something for them, something that belonged to them as much as it belonged to me. That connection, that silent yet deep understanding… I will miss them so much, more than I can express.
I have lived through everything. I have witnessed sunny days and endless rain, noisy celebrations and deep silences. I was there in moments of euphoria and also in moments of loneliness. I was useful, necessary, sometimes even essential. Other times, perhaps I felt forgotten, pushed aside, but I always knew that sooner or later they would come looking for me, that they would need me. And that… that was enough for me.
I remember what my grandmother used to say: “If you hadn’t existed, we would have had to invent you.” How true those words are! Because even though I was simple, I was part of something bigger, something important. I witnessed lives being built, changing, growing. I was there to receive, to hold, to be a refuge in the middle of chaos.
But everything in life comes to an end, doesn’t it? And now, mine has arrived. There are no more stories left for me, no more days ahead. But you know what? I am not afraid. I am not sad. I feel only gratitude — immense gratitude for everything I lived, for everything I was, for everything you meant to me.
We have shared many years together. Years full of laughter, complicity and unforgettable moments. And although my time here is over, I want you to know that I will always carry you in my heart. You were my reason for being, and that will never change, wherever I may be.
So here I am, with these words that say goodbye, leaving a small part of me in each of you. Thank you, thank you for everything. For the laughter, for the tears, for the times you looked at me with affection or with need. Thank you for being my home, my company, my world.
With infinite love and eternal gratitude,
The rubbish bin.
