"Dear Pilar! I look at this photo and wonder what our reaction would have been if someone had told us at the time that fate had wonderful plans to unite us beyond the cinema. That that childbirth with Pedro was also a trial of life itself. Or maybe we both already knew it there? You were always so good to me! You can't dream of a better mother-in-law. Thank you for all the love you have given us, your children, your grandchildren, all your family and friends. You have given me so much. Thank you for always putting yourself on the side of those who need it the most. For raising your voice in the face of injustice. For leaving your skin fighting to improve the living conditions of the neediest members of our sector, without ever expecting anything in return. It cannot be forgotten that in our profession many things have improved thanks to your great effort over the years, without ever giving up. You're admirable. Thank you for sharing with me all these years your wisdom and your humour! I love you a lot. I will always carry you in my heart. Thanks, Pilar.
