Mi querida mami,







Hoy los días se acumularon juntandose en semanas, luego en meses y finalmente en un año mas de vida. 

Hoy celebras con nuestra familia y aunque distante una de la otra  mi corazón no deja de palmitar al recordar que tengo la mejor madre del mundo.

Quisiera poder pagar aunque sea un poco de todo lo que diste para nosotras, tu dedicación, tu sacrificio, tu entrega, tu persistencia, tu empreño en darnos lo mejor, tus cariños, tu disciplina, tus consejos, todo habla de lo maravillosa que eres.

Quisiera que nunca olvides cuanto eres amada, admirada,querida, pensada y cuanto quiero poder ser un ejemplo para mis hijos como lo eres para mi.

Soy bendecida con mas que una madre, tengo una confidente, alguien que me conoce mejor que qualquier otra persona, que me acepta y me ama tal qual soy.

Hoy celebro tu vida, tu grandeza, tu inmeso corazón, tu fuerza, tus dones y tus logros. Hoy  te mereces mas que unas vacaciones, te mereces el cielo .

Hoy entiendo que tengo dos angeles aqui en la tierra y planeo pasar el resto de mi vida intentando devolverles a ambos todo lo que recibido de ustedes.

Te amo mami, Feliz Cumpleaños.


Con amor eterno, tu hija.

Can you?



Can you say the words?
I feel complete.

Can you regret any off it?
Never.

Can you walk forward on heels with red lipstick on and dancing all the way?
(Wide smile).

Can you stay on this spot forever?
Absolutely

Can you change?
Yes, but what for? I´m the way I am and I´m perfect just like this. All of it, right and wrong. With the extra pounds,  the cat-like eyes and the fortunate verses.

Can you make them change?
Yes I can.

Can you be the exception to the rule?
Always.

Can you make it better?
I can try. Better trying than quitting.

Can you see yourself turning back?
Not anymore.

FACT 5: THE END




Hectic afternoon at work and my conscience is traveling to tropical Miami. She decided that needed an entire month for herself. You gotta love my conscience she knows how to have fun…

I take my shoes off, my feet hurt a lot and my cell reminds me that  I have a phone  call appointment,  I´m dialing the  number to find out how was her first experience on a plane and to find out how she´s feeling since the doctor prescribed rest. I´m dialing and I´m eager to hear her voice. The phone keeps ringing and anxiety builds until I hear her. 

She answers:

-Good evening.
-It´s not your house and you´re answering the phone?
-I knew it was you.
-How was your flight?- exited to know how it was.
-It was peaceful, I loved it!
-I told you it was alright.
-Why you´re sad?

Of course,  she can drastically change the topic.

-I sound sad?
-You are. Why?
-I miss you mom. That´s all!
-Me too, but I think is something else!

Tears want to invade but I´m not letting them.

-I was mom…I was sad about it but I can finally say is not worth it. It´s worthless to be sad about. I think is for the best and I´m thankful I have you to constantly remind me about how worthless it is.

Silence.

Silence on both sides.

She speaks the final fact:

-This will be the last time we´ll talk about this. You´re ready… no more sorrow  blinding your path and no more tears to drawn your throat. My child, you and I have seen it, lived it and let it slipped away from our fingers, we have endured the loss and we finally have learned the lesson: It´s  once on a life time and it´s enough to last for eternity.



It Ends here.
