Marquinhos

Born in SAMPA on December 3rd, I remember it well.
I was eight and a half years old.
Mom's big belly.
I was always asked what name I wanted.
How much I liked a former boyfriend of my godmother:
Mimi Brotero Duprat,
He spoke without blinking: Marcos.
And when daddy registered,
João Marcos put it,
And that name stayed.
45 years do,
And, how many things have you been through.
Lost friends, nephews, best man, dad, uncles ...
He lived in danger for years,
And yet, my Mano, my friend,
You are the best person that God can have given me.
Yes, we fought, I think we were no exception to the rules,
All brothers argue,
Punish and complain.
But, we learned even with the age difference,
To have faith, truth, and we always listen.
Marquinhos, I want through what I know best,
To offer all my affection.
And as you read what I wrote and continue to write,
Know that tears fall from my face.
I know that sometimes I was not an example for you,
Being the older sister,
But, I want to thank you that you went and are my example,
And even more now,
After 6 years that daddy left,
Returning to the House of GOD,
I got more attached to you.
Please ask that even
That many of our family members,
Translate that I quote bitter words,
These are sweet moments that I remember about you.
You are someone who will be my stronghold forever,
Well, I still don't know how to act,
With children, your nephews,
And, I ask you to take care.
And may God give you much affection.
And, I say, my little brother,
I love you so much.
And, thanks for everything.
Since 1975 we have been together.
Your crying sister, Tekinha.

Peace, well, light, wisdom and health too.
