A good good man

En Pep was that good, kind man of the land.
A good father is always attentive and with a helping hand in calm times and adversity. A good grandfather who bowed his head to speak with his grandchildren. Liber, a good companion. A good friend.
A good psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who one day opened the doors of a psychiatric hospital to release the patients and restore their dignity.
A good, kind man who was never held back by anything. Always moving forward, with a steady step, seducing you and accompanying you to make that project, that idea, that dream a reality. Never a "no" for an answer, an "impossible," a "it can't be done." Always a "let's go," a "dream," a "let's do it." A "why not?"
A good, just, peaceful, committed, indignant, brave man, who enjoyed conversation and discussion, who listened to you and whom you enjoyed listening to, and who always, until the end, felt deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere. Someone said that this was the most beautiful quality of a revolutionary.
And who wouldn't love a man like that? And who wouldn't want a man like him by their side always to walk the path with?
They say we don't know where we're going when we die. But we, Pep, know where you are and, being there, you'll continue to make us better and perhaps, in time, we'll be able to be a little more like you, a little more like good, good men.
Hi, Pep!
