Terelu Campos y Carmen Borrego have lived the most complicated Christmas of their lives: the first without Maria Teresa Campos in the table. Terelu has told how they spent Christmas Eve. It wasn't easy at all.
“Last week I told you that this Christmas Eve would be the most difficult of my life. I needed a few days to be able to tell you everything I experienced and how I felt on such a familiar night. When life circumstances are sad, it is a difficult event to live through.“, the presenter wrote this Wednesday on her blog. Readings.
The day became difficult for him very early: “Last December 24th I woke up crying without consolation. I was cooking and tears fell. I would sit in the living room and cry. “I would open the closet to see what I was going to wear that night and I would sob.”
Then he put his heart out: “Surprisingly, When 8:45 p.m. arrived I felt more relaxed, or could it be that I no longer had the strength to continue crying?“.
Like every year, he watched the king's speech, whom he deeply admires: “I began to watch King Felipe VI's speech carefully. In my house it has always been a tradition to watch it since we started with my uncle Juan, the eldest brother of my mother, and then with her. I had a few run-ins with guests who didn't understand why I was so interested in watching the speech.“.
He then went into more detail about the family dinner: “I spent this Christmas Eve with Carmen, my brother-in-law, my niece, my ex-husband, her partner, my daughter and her friend Isa. She is another daughter to me. This year I talked to my sister and told her that I wasn't planning on cooking two turkeys like usual. Then there is a lot of food left over and it makes me angry.”
At one point during the evening, he broke down: “During the day I couldn't stop thinking about the photo we all took last year with my mother by the tree. 'What a bad day I'm having!', I thought. Even so, the night passed absolutely normally. Only my voice broke and I collapsed when, at the end of dinner, we toasted and I said, looking at the sky: 'For her.'”.
Then she looked around and composed herself: “It was only a few seconds, because I felt the affection of everyone who was with me and I shared the same pain that my sister, her granddaughters and her 'son-in-law', as she liked to call him, have. “He was affectionate with me and empathetic during a difficult time.” She is referring to José Carlos Bernal, her sister's husband. “I decided to move forward and be calm, chatting and not looking at my phone. It was infinitely better than I could imagine. It seems that coming crying worked“Terelu adds.
The next day, they met with the non-blood family: “On Christmas Day we went to my sister's house with Rocío Carrasco, Fidel, my niece and our friend, Laura Oliver. It was a quiet day with nothing special. “I enjoyed it more, because preparing the night before makes me more nervous.”
He has also talked about his New Year's Eve: “I decided that after a long time I would not have dinner at home. I went to the outskirts of Madrid with my friend Paloma so as not to worry about anything. Also, Carlos, one of my friends from Malaga, came. of childhood. It was a night among friends“.
