Hello dear friends of this wonderful community. I hope all the mothers who share here, have enjoyed a day full of hugs, love, joy and many gifts. My name is Edda Chopite and I want to join this beautiful initiative to praise that unique and special being that is the mother. From the bottom of my heart, I want to congratulate you for such a noble project. My family is very large and is scattered throughout the eastern part of my country Venezuela, but we are very united and for that reason we always look for any occasion to get together and share, to catch up with the news and brighten the lives of my parents, who make up the root of our big family. Mother's Day is one of those special days that we take advantage of to celebrate and be together, but this year that day is different for several reasons.
Parte de mi familia, específicamente una de mis hermanas junto a su esposo y sus hijas y gran parte de mis sobrinos, emigraron hacia distintos países y aunado a eso, recientemente falleció otra de mis hermanas que perdió la lucha contra el cáncer hace poco mas de un mes. Pero nuestra querida madre, una mujer que es de roble fino, nos enseñó a amarnos y a estar unidos, aún sobre cualquier circunstancia y a dar gracias por todo, especialmente, a dar gracias por la vida. Es por eso que este día de las madres lo celebramos de esta manera: celebrando la vida!. Todos los años en este día, nos reuníamos casa de mis padres. Mi cuñado Martin que es chef, nos preparaba una comida deliciosa y todos disfrutábamos alrededor de la mesa. Pero él, junto a mi hermana, ya no se encuentran en el país para prepararnos esos suculentos platillos. Pero eso no nos detuvo, así que decidimos celebrar de forma distinta: ya no alrededor de la mesa en casa de mi madre, sino que decidimos ir a la playa a disfrutar de ese mar maravilloso que es sol, viento y paz.
Part of my family, specifically one of my sisters along with her husband and daughters and most of my nephews and nieces, emigrated to different countries and in addition to that, another of my sisters recently passed away after losing her fight against cancer a little over a month ago. But our dear mother, a woman of fine oak, taught us to love each other and to be united, even over any circumstance and to give thanks for everything, especially to give thanks for life. That is why we celebrate this Mother's Day in this way: celebrating life. Every year on this day, we would gather at my parents' house. My brother-in-law Martin, who is a chef, would prepare a delicious meal for us and we would all enjoy it around the table. But he, along with my sister, are no longer in the country to prepare those succulent dishes for us. But that didn't stop us, so we decided to celebrate in a different way: no longer around the table at my mother's house, but we decided to go to the beach to enjoy that wonderful sea that is sun, wind and peace.
Los que aún quedamos en este país y en este mundo, nos trasladamos desde nuestra ciudad de residencia hasta la ciudad natal, para reunimos a dar gracias por la vida y por que a pesar de la distancia y las circunstancias, estamos más unidos que nunca. Somos una familia de madres, pues en su mayoría, somos mujeres: hermanas, sobrinas y nietas, pura belleza matriarcal jajaja.
Those of us who are still left in this country and in this world, we move from our city of residence to our hometown, to get together to give thanks for life and that despite the distance and circumstances, we are more united than ever. We are a family of mothers, because we are mostly women: sisters, nieces and granddaughters, pure matriarchal beauty hahaha.
Ese día intercambiamos regalos, fotos, evocamos los mas bonitos recuerdos y degustamos los ricos productos del mar, postres, una variedad de platillos sencillos pero sabrosos, preparados por las madres de la familia, siguiendo las recetas de nuestro querido chef y una fresca agua de coco deliciosa!!
That day we exchanged gifts, photos, evoked the most beautiful memories and tasted the rich seafood, desserts, a variety of simple but tasty dishes, prepared by the mothers of the family, following the recipes of our beloved chef and a fresh coconut water delicious
Disfrutamos de un día de las madres diferente, maravilloso, agradecidas con la madre naturaleza por regalarnos en nuestro día, ese sol radiante, esa brisa fresca y ese mar poderoso que nos recuerda que la vida es un ciclo que comienza y termina constantemente y que hay que disfrutar cada día como si fuera el último. Feliz mes de la madre! Espero que disfruten muchísimo de su madre, de su familia y de la vida. Bendiciones para todos.
We enjoyed a wonderful day, grateful to mother nature for giving us on our day, that radiant sun, that fresh breeze and that powerful sea that reminds us that life is a cycle that begins and ends constantly and that we must enjoy each day as if it were the last. Happy Mother's Month! I hope you enjoy your mother, your family and life very much. Blessings
to all.
