Greetings, beautiful community! 🤗
- Saludos hermosa comunidad 🤗
Today I woke up earlier than usual and went to visit my mom, who lives a few kilometers away. As I always do, I prepared lunch the night before to share with her and some of the family. I also made her a special lemon and strawberry cake.
Whenever I go to see her, I prepare myself mentally and spiritually because, unfortunately, she's still sick, but I won't talk about her illness today.
The first thing I always do when I see her is ask for her blessing—it's a beautiful Venezuelan custom! 🙏🏼😊 Then I hug her and give her a kiss on the cheek or forehead. She finds it hard to hug, but her precious, tired eyes light up when she sees me. I know she's happy to see me.
Today I wasn't alone; my husband always accompanies me, and two of my eight siblings were also there. We spent quality time caring for and pampering our dear mother.
She loves going for walks, enjoys being outdoors, and loves flowers—they've always been her passion. If she sees a beautiful flower along the way, she'll surely want to admire its beauty.
Mom also loves to eat. I think that during these difficult times she's going through, a good meal is part of her comfort, and believe me, she's not depriving herself of anything. We enjoy seeing her enjoy her food, and it's also a comfort for us to see her smile.
We shared a simple meal, pasta with tuna and sweetcorn, but the most anticipated part was dessert—yes, the Strawberry and Lemon cake I made with so much love for my mother. Everyone fell in love with the cake, and my mother enjoyed it like a little girl ☺️
The hours pass so quickly, so before leaving, we had to bathe and perfume our mother so she could rest. She loves bathing, feeling fresh and clean.
Before leaving, I took a picture with her showing off some beautiful sunflowers she received as a gift. She looked happy, like a kid with a new toy 🤭😍
Saying goodbye is always very difficult for me. Sometimes I can't explain it, but I get a lump in my throat. It's a sadness that stays with me, and even though I smile, that sadness hasn't eased.
Hoy me levanté más temprano que de costumbre, fui a visitar a mamá que vive a unos cuantos kilómetros de distancia, como hago siempre, preparé la noche anterior el almuerzo que compartiría con ella y con parte de la familia, además le hice una torta especial de limón y fresas.
Siempre que voy a verla me preparo mental y espiritualmente, porque lamentablemente ella sigue enferma, pero hoy no hablaré de su enfermedad.
Lo primero que siempre hago cuando la veo es, pedirle la bendición, ¡está es una bonita costumbre venezolana! 🙏🏼😊 Luego la abrazo y le doy un beso en la mejilla o en la frente, a ella le cuesta abrazar, pero sus preciosos ojos cansados le brillan cuando me ve, yo sé que está feliz en verme.
Hoy no estaba sola, mi esposo siempre me acompaña, además estaban dos de mis 8 hermanos, pasamos un tiempo de calidad atendiendo y consintiendo a nuestra querida madre
A ella le encanta que le den un paseo, disfruta el salir al aire libre, ama las flores, siempre han sido su pasión, si logra ver en el camino una hermosa flor seguro querrá contemplar su belleza.
Mamá también ama comer, pienso que en estos momentos tan difíciles que le ha tocado vivir, parte de su consuelo es una rica comida y créanme ella no se está privando de nada, nosotros disfrutamos ver qué ella disfruta su comida, además es un consuelo para nosotros verla sonreír.
Compartimos una sencilla comida, pasta con atún y maíz dulce, pero lo más esperado era el postre, si, la torta de Fresa y Limón que le hice con tanto amor a mi madre, todos quedaron enamorados de la torta, mi madre la disfruto como niña pequeña ☺️
Las horas pasan muy rápido, así que antes de partir, teníamos que dejar a nuestra madre bañada y perfumada para que pudiera descansar, ella ama bañarse, sentirse fresca y limpia.
Antes de venirme me saqué una foto con ella en dónde muestra unos hermosos girasoles que recibió de regalo, se le ve contenta, como muchacho con juguete nuevo 🤭😍
El momento de la despedida siempre es muy difícil para mí, a veces no sé explicarlo, pero se me hace un nudo en la garganta, es una tristeza que vive conmigo y aunque sonría esa tristeza no ha conseguido alivio.
Thank you for your kind company and support, may the Creator bless you generously 🙏🏼 💞
Gracias por tu amable compañía y apoyo, el Creador te bendiga generosamente 🙏🏼 💞
