It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, ‘till we find our place, on the path unwinding (Elton John)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are times when we need to feel connected to who we are, where we come from and recover our roots and legacy. When someone passes away, we immediately create a mind map, and we put ourselves in the position of that person and ask ourselves where we stand,  are we: grandchildren, son, daughter, cousin? Secondly, where do we put that person, to whom it affects, and how? At some point, we feel pain, the loss that that beloved person has left, the grief and sadness, the emptiness. Somewhere in our head, we get the thought of \u00abwhat if\u00bb, because it could have been me. And then we thank Heaven it wasn’t me this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people have passed these days, due to the COVID, violence, cancer, age or whatever other illness.  When such a tragedy happens, we feel there’s someone less on the planet, as that person has gone missing. On the 17th of June, Norman Cinnamond, the great-grandson of Santiago Rusi\u00f1ol left us. Norman was a good man, a gentleman that knew well who his ancestor was and represented him many times when we needed that family connexion between the museum and the Rusi\u00f1ol legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
