The Big Day – By Jorge Sosa

The activities that Friend Day unites are fantastic. Going out Christmas has to be one of the most popular celebrations, at least on our land.

Enrique Ernesto Febraro was the Argentine who instituted it. I do not know why he called Febraro, he put it in July. Why is Friends Day celebrated on June 20th?

Well, because on June 20, some friends went to the moon. I know other people who have left but not exactly as friends. Enrique Ernesto February was so shocked by the event that he said: I am going to invent a party with that. And he invented the party of friends.

What led him? Some say that because of the old friendship that the Earth has with the moon. They say that Earth once said to her friend Luna: Take care of your skin, darling – and the moon replied: And you take care of parasites.

Others say that it is the attitude of Collin who motivated the tribute. Those who arrived were three, remember? Collins, Armstrong and Aldrin. Amstrong and Aldrin descended on the moon and took all the glory

Collins, who traveled there but did not come down, had to stay in orbit so that his friends could accomplish the task. While Aldrin and Armstrong were planting flags and pirouetting the craters, Collins was doing the work of waiting for them to cover the retreat. Collins' psychologist took twenty years to make Collins understand that he had been a supporter and not a salami.

It happened in 1969 and years later, the celebration began. In Mendoza, in particular, he becomes stronger. Yesterday, phone lines were saturated, getting a communication was more difficult than packing firewood. Telephone messages broke all records

Those who managed to communicate received greetings from the most diverse: "Hello, Cacho talks to you, good day, salami, I want you to know that you are my best friend, and now I you hang because I have to call twenty-three best friends. "

Suddenly, the guy received a call at eleven o'clock in the evening, raised the tube and among the voices, the laughs, the hoops, the sounds of guitars he heard: Jorge. José talks to you. I want you to know that you are my best friend – Aha, and if I'm your best friend, why did not you invite me to the barbecue, hypocrite?

After the red, there were also some franchises, some clarifications.

– Do you know, Juan? I think you never took me seriously.
– Do not say that, Raúl. You must be a joke.
– …
– Crazy, you're really special. I do not know how you can be friends with everyone. To get along with everything.
– Do you know what's going on? I never discuss with anyone.
– Ehhh! Come! It will not be for that.
– That's good. This is not for that.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow, the movement was permanent, in open places, parks, squares, streets, the center looked like a carousel day. There were roasts that started yesterday at noon and still continue with the participants as an asylum mosquito because they suck like crazy.

Bars, confectioneries and restaurants were filled at the pot with celebrity friends, proliferating toasts proliferated and some insults because the friend's day falls on the 20th when no one has a handle since 10. They are the ones who ordered a girl pizza cut in 48 parts.

Memories, anecdotes and accused proliferated, cuddling became flesh in the other, and after the third red, the declarations of friendship were already excessive:

"Look, crazy, you know that you are my brother. Your son, Juan, a wonderful man, so generous, devoted, patriotic, octahedral, if you want to go to the Vatican and ask: What do you expect to give Juan the white suit? "

] Yesterday was the day of the friend It serves, because one is predisposed to greet, to revive contacts, to say present even once a year.I should be a holiday, although good, few of those who were today dedicated to their work.This should be the most complete celebration of the year.

A special holiday that touches us all, because Who did not friend, no? How do you say? Lilita Carrió … I did not think about it
