Karla and her family
I met Karla, André and Margarita only three years ago. I was looking for a part time job where I could learn a bit about rehabilitation while I was at school.
And I did learn about rehabilitation.... but I was also taught about selflessness and about unconditional love.
A lot of people saw Karla as a symbol of dedication, perseverance and courage, which I suppose she was. But Karla never wanted to be a symbol of anything. Quite frankly, she was doing it for herself, because she wanted to and had set her mind to it. She loved training and I loved training with her. She was just a person. A really funny person.
Karla was a character: she knew what she loved and she knew what she hated. She knew what she wanted to do and she knew what she wasn't going to do - there was no arguing! Working with her and André was always a good time and we were always laughing (except for André, who held it in). I will always laugh with her. She will definitely still live and laugh with me in the sense of humour that she has imprinted into me.
Karla and I probably had a less than professional relationship, and I will never regret that. She was my friend and biggest supporter and was there for me when I was at my lowest. She always listened and she always asked the difficult questions. She wanted the best for me, I never ever doubted that.
Karla made sure I always had snacks at my disposal and always tried my strange new health concoctions, to the point where she became addicted to fermented tea. Karla and her family cared for me and always kept me well fed... outside of Karla's endless snack selection, Margarita and Karla's aunts always made me a meal if they were making something for Karla (and if they didn't, Karla always left me a bite of hers). It always felt a bit like family.
Now, speaking of family, we can't talk about Karla's favorite people without mentioning Shelldon the Turdollator. Karla was the God Mother of my son (tortoise), Shelldon, and she loved him as much as I do. I told her that even of she isn't his God Mother, she would always be with us.
This is all to say that Karla is far more than a symbol, she is my friend. She is so much more to me than I can express and she will leave a tremendous impact on who I am. She has changed my career path, my humour, my heart and my soul. I am so grateful for her and for her family.
As a final interjection, I have come to the conclusion that Karla was not just training for herself, as I had previously believed. I sincerely believe that her active perseverance was in part dedicated to everyone who has ever helped her in her journey, specifically her parents.
Karla it at peace and knows that she is so, so loved.
I hope she is dancing. And I know she is laughing.
