Laurent Michelle dreamed of being 15 years old. He would celebrate his birthday on Friday, December 22, 2023. He had invited his family and friends and hoped to dance the waltz with his father.
– “Grandpa, don’t let me down, you must accompany me to the 15th party, you are part of my special guests, I am waiting for you with open arms so that we can dance the waltz together,” he said to Farid Lizcano when he gave him the card and said goodbye with a kiss, El Tiempo said.
He knew that at the age of 15 he would hear the song “Tiempo de vals”, which Chayanne sings. Hopes were many and happiness overflowed in her.
December 22nd arrived and instead of laughter and emotion there is pain, crying and deep pain.
Laurent Michelle died a week earlier in a fire that broke out in his home in Neiva, Colombia.
Her mother and two brothers died with her. Also four other family members, El Tiempo reports.

In Neiva there is mourning for this tragedy. Everyone in the Santa Isabel neighborhood regrets what happened in the early hours of December 15.
The commander of the Neiva Fire Department, Lt. Helmer Pérez, told Blu Radio that apparently a motorcycle parked at the entrance of the house was obstructing the exit, EFE reported.
“People could not evacuate because the main entrance to the house was blocked by a motorcycle,” he said.
In addition, the house where Laurent Michelle lived with his family was surrounded by metal bars for security reasons, which may have made it difficult for the victims to leave, EFE describes. They could not escape the flames.
My granddaughter Michelle sometimes slept with her mother in the house that burned down, but on other occasions she slept with her father Ronald, who did not live with Diana Sánchez.

Waltz and cry
As indicated TimeIn recent hours, a video of Neiva has gone viral.
It is about the heartbreaking moment when Ronald, Laurent Michelle’s father, dances the promised waltz for his daughter with indescribable pain.
The man has the face of his girl and other victims printed on a flannel and a portrait of her in his hands. The flannel reads: “We love you forever.”
You can hear Chayanne singing in the background. But also crying.
No one can imagine the pain that the father carries in his heart. He doesn’t have the strength and before he falls to his knees on the ground, another man removes the portrait of the young girl to continue the waltz. Then a woman also takes a few steps of the well-known song.
Laurent Michelle also did not let the chamberlains down and six boys tried to keep up with the steps of the waltz with white balloons.
