Parecen gente normal, pero no lo son. En absoluto. Son h\u00e9roes. Han sido capaces de dejar a los suyos atr\u00e1s: padres, hermanos, hijos de dejar su casa, la ciudad o el pueblo que les vio nacer, el rinc\u00f3n donde dieron el primer beso, tal vez un amor que espera impaciente en otro continente a que suene un tel\u00e9fono para recuperar la voz de su amado o de su amada con la sonoridad en la que se envuelve ese eco triste del locutorio.
\nSon gente que han recorrido medio mundo. No todos de la misma manera, seguramente. A algunos, probablemente, por ese brillo que se les adivina en la mirada tuvieron que comprarle el billete a la mism\u00edsima muerte. Un billete, en muchas ocasiones, tan solo de ida.
\nY despu\u00e9s han tenido la valent\u00eda de llegar hasta aqu\u00ed, dejar atr\u00e1s todo aquello que nos da el pertenecer a un sitio o a un grupo entre los pliegues de la \u00faltima s\u00e1bana que los cobij\u00f3 antes de partir. Y ahora lejos de vivir consol\u00e1ndose en el recuerdo del tacto y el olor de esa s\u00e1bana han hecho de ella una capa. La capa de los h\u00e9roes.
\nHan tenido el coraje y la valent\u00eda de dejar todo eso y de poder vivir sin ese abrazo reparador que te dan los tuyos. Ese que te consuela, que te ayuda a superar los baches, que te da aliento para seguir. Sin duda tienen que echarse de menos esos gestos que son m\u00ednimos, pero que a la vez llenan tanto.
\nYo admito que ser\u00eda incapaz de vivir sin ellos, \u00bft\u00fa s\u00ed?

— <\/p>\n

They look like normal people, but they are not. At all. They are heroes. They have been able to leave theirs behind: parents, siblings, children, home, the city or town where they were born, the corner where you got the first kiss, perhaps a love that waits impatiently on another continent a phone call to recover the voice of his\/her beloved which embarcad with the sad eco of a locutorio.
\nThey are people who have traveled around the world. Not everyone in the same way, certainly. Some, probably, for that brightness that are looming on the look they had to buy the ticket to the very death. A ticket, on many occasions is only one way.
\nAnd then they had the courage to get here, leaving behind everything that gives us the feeling of belonging a group in the folds of the last sheet that sheltered them before leaving. And now far from consoling to live in the memory of the feel and smell of that sheet they have made a cape. The cape of heroes.
\nThey have had the courage and the courage to leave all that and live without that refreshing embrace that they used to have. That comforts you, that helps you overcome the bumps, gives you the encouragement to continue. Certainly they have to lie under those gestures that are m\u00ednimum but at the same time fills entirely.
\nI admit that it would be unable to live without those, do you?
