Anita Dynamita is back. Ana Obregón has returned to Spain and, without a doubt, she does not think about the shrews, as they reprimanded her as a child, and as she would later reprimand her son Aless, who, “like me, escaped, left”, she remembers . For her return, the actress ended mourning the death of her only child with a turquoise word of honor with an explosion of flowers, even stitched, pink daisy earrings and a silver necklace with five letters: Aless . A return that has brought together all the known Spanish press and some more, a swarm of cameras that before its arrival seemed to be waiting for news that would change the country. And Ana, often on the verge of tears, but calm, always in control of the situation and sometimes mystical – “We are energy that transforms, it never dies, souls are eternal, why don’t we believe that there can be a reincarnation? If not, there is no logic to all this” – he did not disappoint, title after title.
Including that she received a call from her son’s cell phone after he died when she was meeting in a restaurant with the editors of what eventually became El chico de las musarañas (Harper Collins), the bestselling book that Aless Lequio started, finished she and presented yesterday. “My son’s cell phone was in a drawer, turned off, it was a magical moment, a signal”, she recalled, and said that just at the moment when they tried to convince her to go ahead with the book “this gave me strength : it was what my son wanted”. A book in which he even confesses that he flirted with suicide from the seventh floor in Barcelona and that concludes with the birth of his granddaughter. “I would have liked everyone to have found out about the book, because the copyright is for cancer research, but it couldn’t be, because I was being followed, I don’t know how,” he lamented in a press conference at the Palace in Madrid that had live connections with three morning television programs.
A press conference in which Ana admitted that she got “very angry with God” after her son died, and then her mother and father, “but with the arrival of Anita I believe that God exists, she is a miracle”, and announced that “I already have a granddaughter, I don’t want to have any more”, that she expects Count Lequio to visit her: “Your granddaughter is waiting for you, she is looking forward to meeting her grandfather. I can’t force a grandfather to see his granddaughter”. Regarding the criticism of Ana Sandra’s surrogacy, he did not hesitate: “I am not interested in what anyone says. When you have to bury your only child, any criticism you give me, you know what it does to me? tickles The more they criticize, the more tickled and the richer”, he said. And he threw darts without losing his smile: “When I’m not there, Ana Sandra will be more protected than Robert De Niro’s daughter or Al Pacino’s son.”
After remembering that “I’m not a writer, I’m a biologist”, she explained that in El chico de las musarañas “I’ve made an emotional nakedness of my soul and heart so brutal that I haven’t been able to reread it”. “It is written by a mother with a mutilated heart in blood-red ink,” he replied. And he said that “with this I close the three wishes of Aless, which were above all to have a daughter, a foundation with his name to research cancer and that his book be published”.
A book of which he wrote 40 pages in the course of the aggressive treatment he experienced in 2018: “I had nausea, a fever, and from bed at six in the morning I could hear him typing”. Obregón had to finish it and, he points out, “it is a song about life and death, a tribute to my son and to all the brave people who bravely fight to live with cancer and other diseases”. “It inspires – he continued – to realize that life is not guaranteed for anyone. I have met oncology plants with patients who fight with a smile to survive. And then there is the world of complaints, where we criticize, judge, and don’t use something as beautiful as love. It’s the only thing you take with you, the time you spend with love on those you love. Aless’s favorite phrase was that everything you do in this life with love resonates in eternity.”
And he assured that he feels the presence of his son as if he were telling him every second: “Brava, mamma!”
