March, 1954
Coyoacán, Mexico City, Mexico
(translated from Spanish)
It is already March
Springtime 21
I have achieved a lot.
Confidence in walking
Confidence in painting.
I love Diego more
than myself.
My will is strong
My will remains.
Thanks to Diego’s
magnificent love.
To the integrity and
intelligent work of
Dr. Farill. To the earnest
and affectionate efforts
of Dr.Ramón Parrés
and to the kindness
of David
Glusker who has been my
doctor all my life and to Dr
Eloesser.
—Frida Kahlo
