Six months have passed since the departure of Elena Huelva and her legacy is still intact. The young influencer she died on January 3, 2023, at the age of 20, after a few complicated months due to the disease she suffered from, Ewing’s Sarcoma. The young woman captivated the hearts of thousands of users on social networks due to her positivity and her tireless struggle to make visible a still little-explored disease. There is not a day that her followers do not remember her, but if someone especially misses her, it is her family. Her sister Emi remembers her very often in her profile on her networks, and today, on her birthday, she can’t help but be sad for not being with Elena. This is how she related it herself.
What should be a happy day for Emi is turning out to be a bittersweet day. “This year I celebrate that I’m here, it’s my birthday, but inside I cry too. I always loved this day, sharing it with the people I love. This year I can’t share it hand in hand with the person I love the most in the universe, this I share this year clutching my heart, forever”, began the young woman, who day after day struggles to continue the legacy that Elena left behind after her departure.
“I will laugh and dance for both of us. We continue climbing, and enjoying the climb. Thank you for continuing here with so much love. Thanks to those who always love me so much and so well. And thanks to those who have come and stayed with me side”, sentenced the young woman, who received a large number of congratulations from all her followers. “Happy birthday darling!” wrote Paula Echevarría. “Happy birthday my pretty baby! You are a sun, you are loved,” said the singer María Isabel.
But also unrecognized faces have wanted to wish the young woman their best wishes, in addition to sending messages of encouragement and affection to her sister Elena. “Happy return to the sun! Emi, enjoy, laugh, cry and live for both of us, surely life has very beautiful things for you because you are wonderful. Elena always in your heart,” expressed a user. “Congratulations, we stay with you. Supporting you strong. I wish we could do more. Strength friend”, can be read in another comment.
Elena’s absence has left a deep void in all those who knew her, as well as all those followers who appreciated and admired her content on social networks. Since her departure, many tributes have been paid to her. The last one took place during the Manuel Carrasco concert in Seville a few weeks ago. The artist projected an image of the influencer on the screens after singing Woman of a thousand battles. Elena and Manuel had a great relationship.
The young influencer became a symbol of resilience, and won the love of thousands of Internet users for her way of keeping her smile, despite adversity. Since the young woman’s testimony and her way of making her disease visible, Elena has not stopped receiving the support of thousands of her followers. But not just anonymous faces. Aitana Ocaña, Ana Obregón, Sara Carbonero or Manuel Carrasco are some of the celebrities who remained very close to the Sevillian at all times, forging a close friendship with her. Without a doubt, Elena will always be remembered.
