No soñarás flores, libro de cuentos de Fernanda Trías publicado por la editorial Laguna libros en Bogotá en el 2016 Pero no fue hasta la semana después, cuando pasó lo del teléfono, que pensé realmente en eso: que el olor de mi padre sería lo primero en olvidarse, lo más frágil, y fue como si de pronto mi padre muriera de nuevo, pero ya no solo, en su casa, tratando de abrirle la puerta a los paramédicos, sino ante mí, en mis propios brazos, literalmente en mis narices. But it wasn′t until the week after, when the thing with the phone happened, that I actually thought about it: that my father′s smell would be the first thing to be forgotten, the most fragile, and suddenly it was as if my father died again, but this time he wasn′t alone, in his house, trying to open the door to the paramedics, it was in front of me, in my own arms, literally in my nosetrils.
