During their days together in Buenos Aires, father and daughter would spend hours talking and wandering the city. When they came across a group of mothers with their babies, Héctor was reminded of his first days as a father back in Durazno. Lucía knew the story by heart.
—When you were a baby, your mom and I split the chores, so it was usually me who took you to the pediatrician. I don't know why, but I was always the only man in the waiting room.
The day was sunny. No wind. A few hours earlier, the girl had landed at Aeroparque, nervous, afraid of not finding her father. But the moment she walked through the arrivals door, her anxiety melted away. Papa Héctor had a foolproof method: he always waited for her holding a black umbrella. Always the umbrella. Always Héctor waiting.
Based on the testimony of Lucía Giordano, Héctor's daughter, at the tribute held at the Morón cemetery (Buenos Aires, May 2023).
