Something that fills me with great joy is remembering my childhood, so many beautiful moments with my beloved parents and siblings who helped me a lot to be a father that my children are proud of.
I am the eldest of a family of 8 members, and being the eldest son must set an example and take care of the other siblings, in fact, I am ten years older than my siblings, at first I saw it as a burden to be honest, but as time goes by you are moved by the feeling of protecting and caring for them without anything in return. The example of my parents was a fundamental pillar, to see how they showed us their affection, not only by giving us material things, but also by dedicating time for recreation and spending beautiful moments as a family.
My childhood helped me to form myself as a father of my two children, to see how my mother felt in each pregnancy of my brothers and to observe my father's aptitude in each circumstance, how he solved and helped my mother, undoubtedly taught me without saying a word, that a pregnancy is not only a matter of the wife, but of the couple.
Each arrival of my siblings was a great joy, and I never felt displaced, another important lesson that I learned from my parents and which I put into practice with my children. Mom taught me with love and patience to help her take care of my siblings, something I remember with laughter, is when I used to change the cloth diapers of my siblings, at that time they were fastened with hooks that on one side was like a needle, and to take care of not hurting them I pricked my hand several times.
Despite all these things, my siblings respect me as much as I respect them, and there was and is no reason, thank God, to feel superior for having taken care of them in their childhood, on the contrary, I feel happy for having helped my parents and siblings as much as I could.
I thank God for the moments I lived during my childhood, because thanks to her I was able to face many challenges when caring for my children, but in spite of that it is inevitable to feel nervous when receiving the arrival of our little ones as well as when caring for them.
