## Transcript

[0:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=1) Have you seen how crowded it is here? Yes.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=3) Everyone's come. Yes, yes. Good afternoon.

[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=7) Good afternoon, Tasia. Honestly, it comforts me so much that Mateo's memory is still so present, Tita.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=13) Mmm. The one I haven't seen around here is Miguel.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=17) Well, maybe he's had a really exhausting day at the clinic and, and couldn't come by.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=22) Uh, I don't think he's going to come, Tita.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=24) Have you two had a fight? No, but maybe he's a little upset with me.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=30) Why's that? What happened this time? Well, nothing, Tita, he wanted to come with me to the cemetery.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=36) I told him no, he asked me to explain, and I wasn't up to explaining anything to him.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=40) Good grief, that boy... such a sweet soul. He's so clever about some things, and about others...

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=48) Well, anyway, I'm going to head inside, just in case we run out of seats.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=54) Thank you so much for coming, Miguel. It means a lot to me.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=56) No, there's nothing to thank me for. Actually, I, I owe you an apology.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=63) Claudia, for me, it's very hard to understand your sense of loss.

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=68) I don't think I've ever loved anyone as much as you loved Mateo, as he loved you.

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=73) Miguel, the important thing is you're here, that's all.

[1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=76) No, but I've been very selfish, because I was worried to see you so upset about the death of, of the man you loved so much.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=83) But I was thinking about myself, and no, I wasn't thinking about you.

[1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=86) And that's something Mateo never would have done.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=89) And you don't know how much I'd like to be more like him.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=92) Come on, don't dwell on it, Miguel, okay? Everyone's just the way they are.

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=96) Yeah, but I don't want to disappoint you.

[1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=98) I've really tried to put myself in, in your shoes, relate to people the way he would, but I will never be able to be like Mateo.

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=107) And I'm sorry. Don't be silly, Miguel, okay? I'm in love with the wise, charming, bewildering man that you are.

[1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=115) And I don't want you to change. Thank you so much.

[2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=120) Thank you so much. Though I'm not sure how to take the bewildering part.

[2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=124) Claudia, hello. Hello. Hello. Valentina.

[2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=127) Andrés told me he can't come, and asked me to give you a hug.

[2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=129) Don't worry, Valentina. Thanks so much for coming.

[2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=132) Thank you. Oh, Claudia. Sorry I'm late. Miguel, hello.

[2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=138) Fina, sweetheart, thanks for coming, okay?

[2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=140) How could I not be here? And Carmen, if she hadn't left, I can tell you she'd be here.

[2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=144) By the way, I just spoke to her. And what did she say?

[2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=147) She said to send you all her love. And to call her later.

[2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=154) Are you okay? Yes, yes. I'm just so happy you're here by my side on a day like today.

[2:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=160) Shall we go? Yes. Of course.

[2:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=179) Everything gets sent.

[3:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=185) We are gathered here today to honor the memory of our great friend, a brother in the congregation and the husband of one of the most beloved people in our community.

[3:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0dTWCv7Yaasc/en/claudia-and-miguel-remember-mateo-carpena-at-his-memorial?t=196) We are gathered here today to honor the memory of Mateo Carpena.
