In memoriam

Abstract

Friend Rafael, for imponderable reasons you were forced to hastily catch a transport that would take you to the same destination that sooner or later we all have to arrive. The very haste of your departure justifies the strangeness of your absence at the last Annual Meeting of the Spanish Association of Infant-Youth Psychiatry held in Puerto de la Cruz de Tenerife. Since 1973 when you entered as a full member until the latter of 97, your constancy, your loyalty and your active participation in our Association not only in Meetings and Congresses, but also in tasks of positions of the Board of Directors, even in very difficult moments They had made it clear that your presence or absence is manifest.
