Marcos Gómez expressed on his social networks: “Many times I fought with your mom for wasting money when I shouldn't have, but how could I say no to you, how could I tell you that you couldn't take that teddy bear you wanted to walk through the entire supermarket? Today I realize I was not wrong, I gave you my all and I try to forgive myself.” “This Christmas is the most difficult of all, there is no little tree, you are not here to decorate it as always, I can no longer argue with you about taking off the balls, the stars,” he stated. In this way, he recounted that in the coming days he will be able to see his favorite animal, the Capybara, from one place: heaven. “Perhaps you can see it from above.” In La Plata, a giant capybara in honor of Kim Gómez, the girl who was murdered by underage criminals at the beginning of this year, will be part of the traditional burning of dolls in La Plata. The girl's father shared the news on social networks and generated a wave of comments about this special tribute. These are the first Holidays that Marcos and Florencia spend without their daughter, who was brutally murdered after being dragged for 15 blocks by thieves, aged 14 and 17, who stole her mother's car in La Plata. In this heart-wrenching scenario, they decided to pay tribute to her. “Many times there wasn't enough to fulfill those beautiful whims of a little girl, a princess, and it hurt me not to be able to give you more. I don't know if I'll be able to send it up to heaven, but I'm sure the love of all the people who love you and remember you will be there,” he concluded in the writing that the Argentine News Agency was able to access. The giant capybara will be burned, along with all the others, in the early hours of January 1, 2026, in Altos de San Lorenzo.
