‘I don’t know if it will be remembered’

One of the greatest actresses in Brazil would be completing this Sunday, 22, 80 years old. Taken by longing, eight years after Marília Pêra left, her younger sister, also actress Sandra Pêra, posted an emotional tribute, remembering moments they lived together and talking about how much she is missed. Sandra also fears that her sister will not be remembered as she deserved.

“I’m going to celebrate your 80th birthday. I have to celebrate, because I didn’t learn, I didn’t apprehend your non-existence. You are greatly missed. Is there no place to find you, perhaps, who knows, close to God, next to our many dead? But From here where I remain alive, with you in my memory, life is getting stranger every day.

There is no longer her thunderous talent, her up and down mood, so scary for those who didn’t know her. Her extraordinary ideas disappeared, our similarities and differences disappeared. Her ghost doesn’t appear to me. I don’t think there are ghosts, I would love to believe in all of that, in the after… When would one day we all get together and live happily ever after? It would be so good, that smell of Daddy, that smell of Dinorah, those fine, soft hands we inherited from her. All our birthday parties.
Life without that family that protects us is very different from what we didn’t even have to think about when we wanted to be independent. January 22nd I will celebrate the 80 years that you will not be there, I don’t know if you will be remembered by other people, because nobody else remembers anything, but I drink the wine that you loved so much for you.
The greatest of all, my only and beloved sister. An immense void of unresolved longing, but an enormous love will remain”, wrote Sandra, 68 years old, also posting a beautiful record of Marília Pêra and another of her with her parents.
