Am luat plicul cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nd \u0219i l-am deschis cu grij\u0103. \u00cen\u0103untru era o foaie \u00eemp\u0103turit\u0103 de mai multe ori, scris\u0103 cu un scris gr\u0103bit, tremurat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eDac\u0103 cineva cite\u0219te aceste r\u00e2nduri, \u00eenseamn\u0103 c\u0103 nu am mai putut avea grij\u0103 de b\u0103ie\u021belul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cel cheam\u0103 Mi\u0219a \u0219i are patru ani. Nu are pe nimeni \u00een afar\u0103 de mine. Tat\u0103l lui a murit acum doi ani, iar eu am \u00eencercat s\u0103-l cresc singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am muncit c\u00e2t am putut, dar boala m-a \u00eenvins. Medicamentele cost\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t c\u00e2\u0219tig, iar chiria nu am mai putut s-o pl\u0103tesc. De trei nop\u021bi dormim \u00een ma\u0219in\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi\u0219a crede c\u0103, dac\u0103 str\u00e2nge destui bani, doctorii m\u0103 vor face bine. Nu am avut puterea s\u0103-i explic c\u0103 lucrurile nu sunt at\u00e2t de simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dac\u0103 eu nu mai sunt, v\u0103 rog s\u0103 nu-l l\u0103sa\u021bi singur. Nu v\u0103 cer bani \u0219i nici mil\u0103. V\u0103 rog doar s\u0103-i spune\u021bi c\u0103 mama lui l-a iubit \u00een fiecare secund\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen punga lui sunt singurele lucruri care i-au mai r\u0103mas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\u0103 rog, ave\u021bi grij\u0103 de copilul meu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am ridicat privirea spre femeia de pe scaun. Elena era \u00eenc\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103, dar respira\u021bia \u00eei devenise at\u00e2t de slab\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t abia \u00eei vedeam pieptul mi\u0219c\u00e2ndu-se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi\u0219a m\u0103 tr\u0103gea de m\u00e2nec\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Domnule doctor, mama mi-a spus c\u0103 scrisoarea e pentru cineva bun. Dumneavoastr\u0103 sunte\u021bi omul bun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-am putut r\u0103spunde imediat. \u00cen dou\u0103zeci de ani de medicin\u0103 v\u0103zusem accidente, pierderi \u0219i familii sf\u00e2\u0219iate de durere. \u00cenv\u0103\u021basem s\u0103-mi p\u0103strez calmul c\u00e2nd ceilal\u021bi se pr\u0103bu\u0219eau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar \u00een diminea\u021ba aceea, \u00een fa\u021ba unui copil care \u00eencerca s\u0103-\u0219i cumpere mama \u00eenapoi cu doi saci de cartofi, toate ap\u0103r\u0103rile mele s-au rupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-am str\u00e2ns \u00een bra\u021be \u0219i am \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 O s\u0103 am grij\u0103 de voi, Mi\u0219a. \u00ce\u021bi promit c\u0103 nu te las singur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ambulan\u021ba a sosit c\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu. Le-am explicat paramedicilor situa\u021bia \u0219i am urcat al\u0103turi de Elena. Mi\u0219a a venit cu noi, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-\u0219i juc\u0103ria la piept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La spital, investiga\u021biile au ar\u0103tat c\u0103 Elena suferea de o boal\u0103 grav\u0103, agravat\u0103 de lipsa tratamentului \u0219i de frigul \u00een care st\u0103tuse. Avea nevoie de \u00eengrijire imediat\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am vorbit cu medicii, cu asisten\u021bii sociali \u0219i cu conducerea spitalului. Am g\u0103sit o solu\u021bie pentru ca Elena s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 tratamentul necesar, f\u0103r\u0103 ca lipsa banilor s\u0103-i \u00eenchid\u0103 u\u0219a \u00een fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen urm\u0103toarele zile, am aflat c\u0103 femeia \u00ee\u0219i pierduse locul de munc\u0103 dup\u0103 ce se \u00eemboln\u0103vise. Nu ceruse ajutor nim\u0103nui, de team\u0103 c\u0103 autorit\u0103\u021bile \u00eei vor lua copilul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi\u0219a a r\u0103mas temporar \u00eentr-un centru de sprijin pentru copii, unde putea fi vizitat zilnic. De fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd venea la spital, \u00eei aducea mamei c\u00e2te un desen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dup\u0103 trei s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni, Elena a reu\u0219it s\u0103 stea \u00een \u0219ezut \u0219i s\u0103-l \u021bin\u0103 din nou \u00een bra\u021be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2nd i-am dus b\u0103ie\u021belul \u00een salon, ea a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare r\u0103u, puiul meu\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi\u0219a i-a atins obrazul cu m\u00e2nu\u021ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Nu mai pl\u00e2nge, mami. Domnul doctor a cump\u0103rat cartofii. Acum ai bani s\u0103 te faci bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena m-a privit peste capul copilului. N-am g\u0103sit nimic de spus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00e2teva luni mai t\u00e2rziu, cu ajutorul unor oameni care aflaser\u0103 povestea lor, Elena a primit tratamentul de care avea nevoie \u0219i a g\u0103sit o locuin\u021b\u0103 modest\u0103. Drumul spre vindecare era \u00eenc\u0103 lung, dar nu-l mai parcurgea singur\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, Mi\u0219a a venit la cabinetul meu cu un s\u0103cule\u021b mic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Pentru dumneavoastr\u0103, domnule doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen\u0103untru era un singur cartof, sp\u0103lat cu grij\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u0102sta nu e de v\u00e2nzare, mi-a spus serios. \u0102sta e cadou. Pentru c\u0103 a\u021bi salvat-o pe mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am \u00eentors capul, \u00eencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103-mi ascund lacrimile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen dou\u0103zeci de ani de medicin\u0103 primisem diplome, felicit\u0103ri \u0219i mul\u021bumiri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar niciun cadou nu m-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 m\u0103 simt at\u00e2t de bogat ca acel cartof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pentru c\u0103, \u00een diminea\u021ba aceea geroas\u0103, nu salvasem doar o mam\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
