Breathe
By Cecilia Patricia Flores
Today I returned to the shelter in Queretaro, where I was staying, to pack my bags because the address is very visible now and I must relocate; but I want to say that I am very happy and grateful to have so much support.
Thank you! Thanks to you, the media, my daughter, activists and all those who were waiting to meet me. Thanks also to the federal and state governments, because in Querétaro I was attended by the Secretary of Government of the state and all the personnel who are still with me.
My health situation has been delicate. I have been decompensated between the trips, the days of searching throughout the country and I had gone three days without eating. On the way to Queretaro from Mexico City we had a small mishap in the vehicle that was transporting me when it braked and the blow to my head caused me a cervical sprain and therefore the headaches were very strong.
Falling asleep with such a strong headache caused my blood pressure and blood sugar to rise while I was asleep, the high level of dehydration I had due to the days I spent searching in Jalisco where we found large graves and a lot of bodies. All of that, I think the dehydration, the bad passes, the physical and mental fatigue and that mishap that happened on the way, everything came together and that's why I didn't respond.
I thank all the staff at the General Hospital, truly, my respects. All the attention I received undoubtedly helped me to recover faster. Now I must take two weeks of rest, maximum, so that I can recover and continue fighting for my disappeared.
I will continue my search. Nothing will stop me from continuing my search for my missing persons and I hope to recover so that I can be in the search we have scheduled in Sonora for the next few days. God first, we will be there.
Again, to all of you who read me and are watching, I thank you and I invite all the searching mothers to walk together and unite.
Here, everyone fights for what they want and all mothers have to unite and fight together for all our disappeared, wherever they are, not only in our places of origin.
Let's walk for them all over the country. I am searching all over the country and one day, maybe I will be the one to find their children. Searching mothers, I invite you not to criticize but to unite.
We must search for our disappeared without giving up, without tiring, and all for love of them.
