In the publication, the patrolman recalls with nostalgia the days when, along with his friend Jerson, he walked barefoot neighborhoods such as Boston, San Martín, La Ciénaga Castalia, Las Parrillas and Kikelandia, in Barrancabermeja. “It is that when we are children, everything is easy for us,” Rubla wrote, highlighting how childhood unites people regardless of their origin or condition.
With a reflexive tone, the patrolman points out that, over time, each person takes a different path in life. In the case of his friend Jerson, that course took him to the street, but never lost the essence of that child with whom he shared games, improvised baths and adventures in the neighborhoods of the Petrolero port. “God affirms it,” Arrubla says, attributing to life and destiny the decisions that everyone makes.
One of the most emotional fragments of the message refers to the social prejudice that people in street situations often face. “They say it smells ugly, but I don’t feel his smell … I can hug him a thousand times without any problem,” He wrote the uniformed, breaking with stigmas and highlighting the human dignity of his friend, beyond his current situation.
The publication, which has been widely shared on social networks, has generated hundreds of positive comments. Users highlight the sensitivity of the patrolman and see it as an example of humanity within an institution often questioned. Others have expressed their desire that this type of gestures will serve to strengthen empathy in Colombian society.
Barrancabermeja is also the scene of these stories that remind us that friendship, memory and respect do not understand social classes. Patrolman Frank Leimis Arrubla not only showed the human face of the Police, but also left a clear message: nobody loses its value for living in the street, and everyone deserves a hug.
