M-am uitat repede \u00een jur \u0219i am v\u0103zut c\u0103, din p\u0103tur\u0103, se rostogolise o cutiu\u021b\u0103 de metal, mic\u0103, veche \u0219i u\u0219or ruginit\u0103. Inima a \u00eenceput s\u0103-mi bat\u0103 mai repede. Am ridicat-o cu grij\u0103 \u0219i am suflat praful de pe ea. Pe capac erau gravate, abia vizibile, literele \u201eM.A.\u201d \u2014 ini\u021bialele mamei mele, Maria Andreescu.<\/p>\n
Am deschis cutiu\u021ba \u0219i, \u00een\u0103untru, am g\u0103sit un mic plic de h\u00e2rtie, \u00eeng\u0103lbenit de timp, \u0219i o bucat\u0103 de panglic\u0103 ro\u0219ie, legat\u0103 ca un \u0219nur. Pe plic scria, tremurat: \u201ePentru c\u00e2nd nu voi mai fi\u201d.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit cum mi se str\u00e2nge g\u00e2tul. M-am a\u0219ezat pe scaun \u0219i am desf\u0103cut cu grij\u0103 plicul. \u00cen interior erau trei bancnote vechi de 100 de lei, c\u00e2teva fotografii alb-negru \u0219i o scrisoare scris\u0103 cu pixul albastru, \u00een scrisul pe care l-a\u0219 fi recunoscut oriunde: al mamei.<\/p>\n
\u201eDragii mei copii,
Poate ve\u021bi g\u0103si p\u0103tura asta \u00eentr-o zi, c\u00e2nd eu nu voi mai fi. \u00cen fiecare dintre ele am ascuns ceva ce am adunat cu greu, de-a lungul anilor. Nu e mult, dar e tot ce am putut str\u00e2nge pentru voi. Nu arunca\u021bi aceste p\u0103turi. Sub fiecare dintre ele se afl\u0103 o parte din iubirea mea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u0103mas nemi\u0219cat, cu lacrimile curg\u00e2ndu-mi pe obraji. M-am ridicat \u0219i am desf\u0103cut \u0219i celelalte dou\u0103 p\u0103turi. \u00cen cea de-a doua, ascuns\u0103 \u00eentr-o cus\u0103tur\u0103 veche, am g\u0103sit o pung\u0103 mic\u0103 cu c\u00e2teva bijuterii de tinichea \u0219i o cruciuli\u021b\u0103 de argint. \u00cen cea de-a treia, \u00eentre dou\u0103 straturi de material, erau mai multe scrisori, fiecare adresat\u0103 c\u00e2te unuia dintre noi.<\/p>\n
Am citit scrisoarea mea. Spunea:
\u201eCopile drag, \u0219tiu c\u0103 \u021bie \u021bi-a fost mereu cel mai greu. \u021ai-ai sacrificat tinere\u021bea ca s\u0103 m\u0103 aju\u021bi. Poate n-am \u0219tiut s\u0103-\u021bi mul\u021bumesc destul. Dar s\u0103 \u0219tii c\u0103 te-am iubit mai mult dec\u00e2t \u021bi-am spus vreodat\u0103. \u021aine minte, lucrurile nu se m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00een bani, ci \u00een c\u00e2t suflet la\u0219i \u00een ele.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am pl\u00e2ns ca un copil. Feti\u021ba mea a venit \u0219i s-a a\u0219ezat \u00een bra\u021bele mele, \u00eentreb\u00e2nd:
\u2014 Tati, de ce pl\u00e2ngi?
\u2014 Pentru c\u0103 bunica te iube\u0219te \u0219i acum, chiar dac\u0103 e \u00een cer.<\/p>\n
\u00cen acea sear\u0103, nu am putut dormi. M-am uitat \u00eendelung la p\u0103turi, la cus\u0103turile lor str\u00e2mbe, la peticele colorate puse una peste alta. Mi-am dat seama c\u0103 fiecare fir fusese cusut de mama, cu r\u0103bdare, \u00een nop\u021bile reci \u00een care nu avea lemne pentru foc. C\u0103 fiecare pat\u0103 era o poveste, fiecare ruptur\u0103 \u2014 o amintire din copil\u0103ria noastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
A doua zi i-am chemat pe fra\u021bii mei. C\u00e2nd au venit \u0219i le-am ar\u0103tat ce am g\u0103sit, au t\u0103cut. Cel mare, cel care zisese c\u0103 sunt doar gunoaie, \u0219i-a dus m\u00e2na la fa\u021b\u0103 \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103. Cel mijlociu a atins cruciuli\u021ba de argint \u0219i a murmurat:
\u2014 N-am \u0219tiut…<\/p>\n
Am hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 nu \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bim nimic. Am pus totul la loc \u00een cutiu\u021b\u0103, am legat panglica ro\u0219ie \u0219i am dus p\u0103tura la biseric\u0103, ca s\u0103 fie binecuv\u00e2ntat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ast\u0103zi, cutiu\u021ba st\u0103 pe raftul din sufragerie. Feti\u021ba mea o prive\u0219te des \u0219i spune:
\u2014 Acolo doarme iubirea bunicii, nu-i a\u0219a?<\/p>\n
Z\u00e2mbesc \u0219i \u00eei dau dreptate. Pentru c\u0103, uneori, cele mai mari comori nu sunt ascunse \u00een cufere de aur, ci \u00een lucrurile simple, pe care al\u021bii le numesc \u201ef\u0103r\u0103 valoare\u201d \u2014 dar care poart\u0103, \u00een t\u0103cere, toat\u0103 dragostea unei mame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
