"No two fires are alike. There are big fires, small fires and fires of all colors. There are people with serene fire, who do not even notice the wind. And people with crazy fire, who fill the air with sparks. Some fires, fires fools, they do not light or burn. But others burn life with such passion that you cannot look at them without blinking, and whoever approaches it lights up, "

says the quote owned by the Uruguayan writer and journalist.

And then comes the message from the new owners of the Instagram account

: "

Your children want your incomparable fire to never go out. That is why we are going to keep your networks active, so that all those who love and admire you have a place where I can pay you the tribute that you deserve ".

The previous publication is from October 30, 2020

, the day of his 60th birthday, when Diego shared with the world his pride in the letter of congratulations that the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, had sent him on his anniversary.

Since then, the account was silent.
