Love at first sight

Lowell met Cecilia Castro Revert, Cissa, in 2003, while working in a technological society. It was in the gym during lunchtime, using the short break from long hours of work.

It was there that Cissa saw down the first time, down the gym stairs. “I remember to date, those stairs descended and I thought:” What a beautiful girl! “, Lowell says Earthsmiling while remembering the moment.

He approached, presented himself, but the one who initially seemed to be a random conversation soon became something much bigger. During the chat, he noticed the alliance on the finger of Cissa and, at the beginning, thought it was only instructed. But fate seemed to have other plans.

The next day they met again. This time, they discovered that they had worked in the same company, but in different areas. The conversation continued and what seemed to be a simple coincidence turned into something magical. Lowell, always simple and spontaneous, organized a journey with Co -operators for the Hopi Hari amusement park. “I said, this is an opportunity to be longer, because it doesn’t take me off my head,” he recalls.

During the journey, between laughter and exchanges of looks, Cissa and Lowell approached even more, until they stop, they gave the first kiss. Cissa took the alliance that I still used and said, “It’s not what I want. It’s not so.” From there, their relationship has never returned.

Lowell and Cissa lived a love story described as overwhelming. In a few months, he went to live with him and their relationship flourished. They were different but complementary: it, independent and full of life, he, communicative and engaging. With a year of appointments, they decided to get married. On June 12, 2004, Valentine’s Day was marked by their wedding.

The discovery of cancer

“It was always very thin, but when he started losing weight more intensely, we are worried,” says Lowell. They made several exams and initially they found nothing. But the situation worsened and stomach pains began to intensify. After further exams, the diagnosis arrived: the H. Pylori bacteria.

Cissa, always investigative, studied and soon discovered that the diagnosis could evolve into cancer. Despite the treatment, stomach cancer has been discovered, advanced and high risk. Lowell recalls the conversation with the doctor, “he said, look, it’s serious. And it could be surgery that will not be successful, or it could be a successful surgery, but it’s not good.”

With the devastating news, less than a month from Carnival, the couple decided to make the most of the time together and went to a block of carnival, with their daughters, trying to maintain joy and optimism. It was a moment of resistance, struggle and, in particular, of love.

After two years and three months of treatment, the disease has advanced and the only option was palliative care. Cissa decided that she wanted to spend her last days at home, surrounded by her family. He was there, next to Lowell, who said goodbye. On August 6, 2019, at 39, Cissa died.

The loss was devastating for Lowell, but he knew he had to go on, not only for him, but for his daughters.

In the profile description, he summarizes: “There is no time to return, we live everything to live”.
