Blanca wrote Prieto a letter dated January 24, 1994. She told him about his father and how he got addicted in Vietnam. She wrote Prieto that his father's body might be dying, but his real father died years ago and what is left is a body dying of AIDS. She told Prieto not to allow his father's shame to be his shame. She said he should put up a wall between him and his father's last days to protect himself and preserve his dreams. She said to keep the best of his father in his heart and remember what he taught him. The memories of the last years she recommended that he throw in the trash and never revisit them.
