Madrid (EFE).- Ana Obregón has presented the book “El chico de las musarañas” this Wednesday at the Hotel Palace in Madrid and in the massive press conference that she has called, after having been a grandmother last March due to pregnancy surrogate in Miami, has said: “When you have buried a child, any criticism tickles you.”
In addition, after the controversy that arose, he wanted to underline: “It has been a political debate, because it has been good for them not to see all the botch jobs they are doing.”
Sometimes with tears and at other times smiling, Ana Obregón (Madrid, 1955), who lost her 27-year-old son Aless in May 2020 as a result of cancer, has said that she has written the book to “fulfill one of the wishes of his son Aless: to be a writer”.
“I came from burying my son and I did not want to live. Little by little I began to think that I had to fulfill the three wishes that he had transmitted to me before he died: to have a daughter, to publish a book and to create a foundation for cancer research”, he explained.
Written “with mutilated heart and red ink”
“My son couldn’t finish this book because of the bloody cancer,” said the artist, who pointed out that it took two years until she was able to read what her son had written. “I was excited to read what he had written and I discovered the talent he had for writing.”
“I have been locked up for nine months to write it. It is a work written by a mother with a mutilated heart and red ink”, added the actress, who assures that these 312 pages are “a song to life and a song to death; a tribute to my son and to all the brave who fight to live with cancer”.
The book, which is now in its fourth edition, “is being a tremendous success, I am excited for my son, who will surely be happy,” said Obregón, who revealed that “there is no greater tragedy than losing a child, and follow his legacy and fulfill his wishes: it has been a ray of light”.
In the book, he tells that he wanted to take his own life. “When I found out that my son was dying, I wanted to kill myself from the seventh floor, but suicide is cowardly.”
“My computer broke from tears”
“In many years, Anita, my granddaughter, will be proud to read this book”, has recounted the protagonists of “Ana and the Seven”, who acknowledges that writing the book has been “a hard process; sometimes she was so soul-broken that she couldn’t go on. I have cried a lot, my computer even broke from the tears I was shedding”.
“I talk to Anita about her dad every night. At five to 9 at night I take her in my arms, look at the sky and say, ‘Blessed are you, Aless’”, said the actress, dressed in a spring-like design in light blue and strawberry tones by Rubén Hernández: “In forty years I have not seen so many journalists, cameras or media”.
As for Anita’s grandfather, her ex-husband, Alessandro Lequio, Obregón has assured that “he has my house open for him to come and meet his granddaughter.”
After spending two and a half months in Miami, where she was a “grandmother” by surrogacy, the artist has assured that she is “happy”. “I understand that you want to know about my princess (Anita), but I am going to talk only about my book,” she insisted.
