“I’m going to have to fix the earring by myself,” said Dr. Carolina Herrera, Welcome panelist, excitedly during the special that the morning of Channel 13 aired last Friday of Christmas.

In space there was a segment dedicated to the humanity and emotions of their faces. Tonka Tomicic spoke for the first time in public about her mother’s advanced Alzheimer’s disease (“It was difficult because it’s a grief, because it’s like… You are losing your mother,” she said). The cheerleader thanked her sister Mirela for her role in the middle of this situation.

Meanwhile, Dr. Herrera also referred to her mother:

“You are such good daughters. I have always recognized that to Raquel. Your story is touching Tonka, now that you know her. But I do feel that I have pending with my mother, but that it was too late because she is already bedridden, she will no longer have that analysis. And those earrings were perhaps a very controlling childhood on her part, permanently with me, with my sister Monica, who for me is the hero of the year because she is the one who takes care of her.

“And that somehow transformed into a thought that I with my children was not going to be controlling. Nothing, not in school, not in a task, not in anything. And I feel like they may have interpreted that to be lack of concern or lack of affection. But it was somehow a flick of that choking sensation, of something I could never shake off. But maybe if it hadn’t been like that I wouldn’t be where I am today. I would not be helping people today or feeling that I am useful to someone who is also a mom or who is also a son.

“So I’m going to have to fix the earring by myself, but that was my feeling of emotion. That sometimes your life passes and the minute of the conversation is over, it was gone. Although it is there as you feel it, it is no longer the same.

“This year I have seen so many children stand at the door of the ICU and try to communicate with a person who was dying, which I feel is a gesture that one has to do before, not at the last minute, it has to be before. But I still haven’t had that strength to do it, that push.

“To Tomás, Ignacio and Matías, who are my children, let them know that how many Christmases I spent in the UCI was for them.”
