a participar en la iniciativa propuesta por , acerca de las cosas que de pequeños nos parecía un lujo.Los voy a ubicar a mediados de la década del 60, en Cuba, los primeros años de revolución, sin contacto con el exterior y aunque no como hoy día, teníamos miles de carencias.
Yo soy de la capital, pero de un barrio periférico, lo cual significaba que nuestros padres eran trabajadores y más menos todos teníamos lo mismo porque las cosas estaban racionalizadas.
Los juguetes te tocaban 3, uno básico y dos de menos costos, se daban por el día de Reyes a principio de año y por ejemplo en la tienda que le tocaba comprar a los padres, solo había 3 bicicletas o 4 muñecas lindas, es decir los juguetes más anhelados por los niños podían ser pocos y podías obtener lo que había y punto.
Era un lujo que tus padres alcanzaran el juguete que tú querías, así fuera un juego de Yaquis o Parchís. Hubo que aprender que se jugaba con lo que se tuviera y además aprendimos a compartir los juguetes.
También recuerdo que mi padre trabajaba en el puerto de La Habana y como jefe de barco le daban de merienda pan con jamón, o manzanas y otras boberías que aquí no había, para mi hermana y para mí era un lujo que mi padre nos trajera esas cosas.
Poder tener chocolates era otro inmenso lujo, pues crecimos carentes de golosinas.
Sin embargo, cada fin de semana salíamos a pasear con mis padres, a la playa, a un parque de diversiones, el zoológico o a reuniones familiares, ¡cuánto nos gustaban los domingos! Que Felicidad inmensa, pero yo lo veía como algo normal.
Cuando crecí fue que comprendí que fue no solo un lujo, sino todo un privilegio tener los padres que tuve y la familia que me dio tanto amor y a quienes no me alcanzará la vida para agradecer.
Me gustaría invitar a mis amigas

Greetings community, grateful for the invitation of to participate in the initiative proposed by , about the things that seemed a luxury to us as children.
to participate in the initiative proposed by , about the things that seemed a luxury to us as children.I am going to place you in the mid 60's, in Cuba, the first years of revolution, without contact with the outside and although not like today, we had thousands of shortages.
I am from the capital, but from a peripheral neighborhood, which meant that our parents were workers and we all had more or less the same because things were rationalized.
You got 3 toys, a basic one and two less expensive ones, they were given at the beginning of the year for Three Kings Day and for example in the store that parents had to buy, there were only 3 bicycles or 4 beautiful dolls, that is, the most desired toys for children could be few and you could get what there was and that was it.
It was a luxury for your parents to get the toy you wanted, even if it was a game of Yaquis or Parcheesi. We had to learn that you played with whatever you had and we also learned to share toys.
I also remember that my father worked in the port of Havana and as ship's chief they gave him bread with ham as a snack, or apples and other things that were not available here, for my sister and me it was a luxury that my father brought us those things.
To be able to have chocolates was another immense luxury, because we grew up without sweets.
However, every weekend we would go for a walk with my parents, to the beach, to an amusement park, to the zoo or to family reunions, how much we loved Sundays! What immense happiness, but I saw it as something normal.
When I grew up I realized that it was not only a luxury, but a privilege to have the parents I had and the family that gave me so much love and whom I will never be able to thank in my lifetime.
