Portrait of my father and I at Hove Lagoon...taken from photo 1964.Brighton was a fantastic place to grow up...being on the south coast of England,I had not only the beach,but the piers,the hot pipe,behind the power station,for fishing.The harbour with it's cranes,ships,lifeboat,moorings etc,was a favourite place for adventures and developing my imagination...I went everywhere with my father,as he had a 50cc, moped,which gave us the oppurtunity to go anywhere,to experience changes in weather...storms etc,and this twilight ambiance that I remember,which was so exhillerating.

EL QUE HA TENIDO QUE DEJAR SU PUEBLO CON SU ÚNICO PAR DE PANTALONES
EL QUE CON UNA CAUSA,UN CORAZON PARA LUCHAR CONTRA LA POBREZA Y ALGO LLAMADO FACISIMO.
EL QUE HA DADO TODO PARA SU PUEBLO QUE ESTABA DIVIDIDO EN DOS,ENFRENTADO CON ARMAS DE ODIO.
EL,QUE CON SU RIFLE YA SIN BALAS DURANTE CUARTRO LARGOS AÑOS HA CRUZADO LOS PIRINEOS CON SU CABEZA ALTA Y SU CORAZON ROTO.
EL QUE NO HAN TENIDO UN BUEN RECIBIMIENTO EN FRANCIA,UNA VEZ MÁS,DE PIE SIEMPRE CON SU MENTE PENSANDO EN SU ANDALUCIA.
EL QUIEN HAN LLEGADO A INGLATERRA DONDE EL VENENO DEL FACISIMO ESTABA ROMPIENDO LA PAZ EN UNA EUROPA DECIDIDO A QUE TERMINARÍA EL TRABAJO QUE HÁBIA EMPEZADO EN SU PUEBLO Y SE VISTIÓ DE SOLDADO BRITÁNICO.
EL QUE ERA NADA MÁS QUE UN HOMBRE CON UN SUEÑO DE LIBRAR EL MUNDO DE SUEÑOS DESPOTAS DE HOMBRES COMO FRANCO O HITLER.
EL HOMBRE QUE SOÑABA QUE SU FAMILIA TUVIERA PAN Y LIBERDAD.LUCHÓ EN ALEMANIA,PERO POR DESGRACIAS FUE HERIDO,CASI DE MUERTE.AL DESPERTAR SE ENCONTRÓ EN UN CAMPO DE PRISIONEROS DE GUERRA,EN EL NORTE DE ALEMANIA.
EL QUE HA DADO TODO POR SU PUEBLO Y DE EUROPA ESTABA LIBERADO EN 1945,CUANDO LOS INGLÉSES LE AYUDÓ A BUSCAR UN TRABAJO Y UNA CASA.
EL CON UNA FELICIDAD MUY GRANDE EN SU CORAZON ESCRIBIÓ UNA CARTA A SU NOVIA,TAN GUAPA,TAN ANDALUZ,CON BILLETE DE AVIÓN,PARA QUE FUERA CON ÉL A VIVIR Y CASARSE.
EL QUE NO TUVO MUCHO TIEMPO PARA SER FELIZ,YA ESABA CASADO,Y AL POCO VENDRÍAN SUS DOS HIJOS Y DIÓ GRACIAS A DIOS POR LA PAZ Y EL SENTIDO DE SER AMADO POR SUS AMIGOS INGLESES.
EL QUE SIEMPRE TUVO UNA PENA EN SU CORAZON,DE NO SER AMADO EN SU ANDALUCIA DONDE NO ERA LIBRE Y ESTABA OBLIGADO A VIVIR EN EL EXILIO.
SANTIAGO CERVANTES FERNANDEZ. 1921-1970 ÉL FUÉ MI PADRE...
