FAREWELL ... DESPEDIDA ...



My dear friends unfortunately this is a very sad post. Carlos, my dearest and so beloved husband, my source of love, joy, comfort and great companionship for almost 47 years passed away of a fulminating heart attack. 
Carlos was always a wonderful , lovely and dedicated husband, father and grandfather. 
We all do not have enough words to express our so deep sorrow, our profound sadness and infinity missing of our  dearest Carlos...

His so beautiful photos and great inspiration and colaboration have always illustrated and illuminated my blog since its beginning in 2005. Without his great talent Leaves of Grass would not have been as it was.

Carlos Alckmin Mascaro (February, 05, 1941 - August, 18, 2018)


Meus queridos amigos infelizmente este é um tristíssimo post. Carlos, meu querido e muito amado marido, minha fonte de amor, alegria, conforto e grande companheirismo por quase 47 anos faleceu de um fulminante ataque cardíaco. 
Carlos foi sempre um maravilhoso e dedicado marido, pai e avô. 
Nós todos não temos palavras suficientes para expressar toda a nossa profunda dor, imensa tristeza e infinitas saudades do nosso querido Carlos...

Suas belíssimas fotos, sua grande inspiração e colaboração sempre ilustraram e iluminaram o meu blog desde o seu início em 2005. Sem o seu imenso talento o Leaves of Grass jamais teria sido como foi.

  3. Triste, triste mesmo,Sonia! Imagino o teu coração como está! Tantos anos, tanto amor, tantas lembranças eternizadas agora em suas fotos... A vida prega peças e essa foi danada. Superar essa dor é apenas o tempo que pode ajudar! Que tenham essa força e consigam ser felizes do modo que der, pois ele, dinâmico e ativo, não gostaria de te ver paradinha, tristonha ! Força por ele...Ele de onde está, te sorrirá e nesse novo ano, desejo que essa força chegue e amenize as saudades, transformando as tristezas nelas. beijos pra ti e tua família! chica

  11. Oh Sonia! I am so sorry! I have been away from Blogger for many years and your blog is one that I always remember. Today I decided to start a “new chapter” and start blogging again. I also immediately thought of you and Leaves of Grass and had to look it up to see what you’d been up to lately. Imagine my shock and sorrow to see your sad post! I am so very sorry but glad that you let us know what was going on. I am sending you a long distance hug and will be praying for strength, healing, peace as you walk through this hard time. Much love to you, Brenda

  16. Olá, querida Sónia!

    Só agora encontrei seu blog e fiquei tão triste com a notícia!
    As minhas condolências.
    Eu sei que já passou algum tempo, visto que seu amado marido faleceu em agosto do ano passado, mas, de qualquer jeito foi uma morte repentina e isso causa sempre muita dor.

    Belas fotos, as que ele fez!

    Beijos e a vida tem de continuar.

  27. Oi, Sônia!!
    Que grande tristeza!! Sinto tanto por não poder te dar um abraço. Imagino como o seu coração está saudoso!! Tem tanta coisa pra se lembrar, tantos anos de vida compartilhada... ah, não sei se parar de blogar seria uma boa, já que ele fazia tanto gosto. Além do que é algo para se distrair. Tantas fotos lindas que merecem ser sempre expostas e por isso postadas novamente.
    Beijinhos no coração!!
