An anonymous obituary published in the Spanish daily 'El Mundo' has set social media ablaze with its concise yet profound message, touching the hearts of millions.

Recently, a "love obituary" published in a major Spanish daily has stirred global emotion. Revealed on July 12th in 'El Mundo,' this anonymous obituary filled an entire page, captivating readers with a short yet powerful message in the bottom right corner.

The obituary began with the following words:

“To my beloved Lola, my love, today marks 20 years since you left. I've thought of you day and night, and I've dreamed of you. There will never be anyone like you again. I just want to be with you. I love you.”

This message, only 194 characters long, delivered a romantic and deeply moving impression in its brevity, reminiscent of a love letter one might find in classic films or novels. It was a poignant love letter, a style frequently seen in recent popular dramas such as 'Bridgerton,' 'Outlander,' and 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,' appearing in reality.

The Impact of the Anonymous Message 

The anonymous individual who placed the obituary likely did not anticipate such an explosive reaction. However, once a photo of the 'El Mundo' page was shared on social media, the post spread like wildfire. On X (formerly Twitter), the photo of this obituary garnered over a million views, with countless users expressing admiration and respect.

Netizens conveyed their emotions with comments like, "This is true love," "This obituary brought tears to my eyes," and "I salute this unchanging love after 20 years." Some also speculated about the identity of 'Lola,' the subject of the obituary, and the person who sent the message, showing curiosity about the hidden story.

'El Mundo' also commented on the obituary, stating, "No one knows who Lola is, or who wrote this. It's a lover who remembers her even after 20 years," further amplifying interest in this mysterious love story.

A Symbol of Unchanging Love 

In an era where analog expressions of love are increasingly fading, this obituary, a testament to unchanging love for one person, deeply resonated with many. The poignant affection, cherished for 20 years amidst the sorrow of losing a loved one, transcends a simple obituary. It stands as a true symbol of love that will likely be remembered for a long time, not just across Spain but in the hearts of people worldwide. This anonymous message served as a reminder of the enduring fundamental human emotion—the power of love—even in our rapidly changing digital age.
