1. #ThankYouElizabeth. Through you, I found a crowd of "me's" out there. Several older women who used their higher education and research experience for social change saw themselves in you.

2. Many of us are tired, beaten up and not quite sure if all we did mattered. I talked to many. Me, I don't know: my friends and co-workers in Amazonia are prematurely dead. The organizations I've created, unlike yours, were destroyed.

3. But as you became a permanent virtual presence in our lives, we dared to think it could be different. That in spite of everything, it could still be worth it. One more try.

4. Today, that feeling that my future is behind me and that this is a sort of labyrinth, an endless repetition of the same, is strong. We'll see. Anyway, even if for a short time, #ThankYouElizabeth
