Con quien mas compartì mi niñez fue con Fernando Augusto, mi hermano varón. Somos contemporáneos en edad (yo soy la mayor). Mi madre siempre fue muy estricta en la crianza pues, ese rol lo asumió en muchos momentos sola, ya que mi padre, trabajaba fuera del estado donde vivíamos y, venia a casa los fines de semana.

Mi madre y yo siempre hemos tenido confianza. Mas que mi madre, la considero mi mejor amiga, mi hermana. Muchas veces nos confunden en el parentesco pues, al tenerme ella tan joven, actualmente parecemos hermana mayor y menor y, la gente nos lo dice. Una de las ventajas de ser padre o madre a temprana edad (la única diría yo).

Mi madre siempre ha estado presente en todos los momentos de mi vida y aún en la actualidad, siempre nos tiende la mano en algún momento o situación difícil.

Es muy sensible y amante de su familia, la cual defiende a muerte si fuese necesario. Su sentimiento familiar es inigualable. De corazòn noble y sincero. Algo impulsiva en sus reacciones, pero reflexiva y muy honesta. Una hija valiosa y buena, por ello, es una madre especial.

En la actualidad, desde hace algunos años, mi madre vive en el campo, en una finca familiar. Tuvo que mudarse para cuidar a su madre (mi abuela) que ya es muy anciana y presenta algunos problemas de salud. Ella junto a su esposo, administran la finca y allá, Luisa Del Valle dedica la mayor parte de su tiempo, a cuidar a su madre de 97 años. Es tierno y hermoso ver como expresa su amor hacia esa viejecita que la trajo al mundo y hoy necesita sus cuidados.

Extraño mucho a mi madre, y aunque hablamos todos los días hasta dos veces al día, nunca me cansarè de anhelar el momento de volver a verla y abrazarla. La cuarentena ha alargado este deseo pero confío en que mas pronto que tarde, estaremos juntas nuevamente compartiendo ese abrazo cálido que siempre reconforta mi alma.

Talking about my family has always been one of my greatest pleasures. But talking about my parents is even greater. It is a special moment that brings to the surface my most beautiful emotions. Remembering and thanking those loving hands that welcomed me into the world and took care of me, making many sacrifices. Giving me most of their time of life, even at the cost of not having space for them, is for me something great.

Today, I have the opportunity to do it, in the Special #MyParentsChallenge proposed by the fabulous Hive account@motherhood community and Hive account@aliento project. A unique opportunity to thank and make a nice tribute from the heart to those beings who have given everything to bring us here and continue to ensure that we are happy.

That is the main task or goal in life when we become parents. I have dedicated many publications to my father Fernando Antonio, throughout my passage through the blockchain. Today, even though my gratitude is for both of them equally, I will dedicate it to my mother, Luisa Del Valle, the woman who brought me into the world and contributed with her immense love, to get me to where I am today.
She is one of my best and most beautiful examples of life. A warrior and courageous woman, as well as loving, of whom I feel immense and special pride.

My mother married at the age of 15 (my father was 29). She left home more than for love, forced by the tyrannical life that my grandmother gave her in terms of enjoying the things of youth. This is how Luisa Del Valle became a wife at 15 and a mother for the first time at 16 when she had me. Carrying that responsibility at such a young age, when we are supposed to enjoy and live other things, was a challenge that my mom fulfilled very well.

And I say this because even though we are not perfect (no one is), my siblings and I are good people and we have achieved many good things in life. The most important, to assume the values of upbringing that our parents gave us and also to transmit them in a good way to our children. The one I shared my childhood with the most was Fernando Augusto, my brother. We are contemporaries in age (I am the oldest). My mother was always very strict in the upbringing because she assumed this role alone in many moments since my father worked out of the state where we lived and came home on weekends.

My mother and I have always trusted each other. More than my mother, I consider her my best friend, my sister. We are often confused about our relationship because she was so young, we look like older and younger sisters, and people tell us so. One of the advantages of being a parent at a young age (the only one I would say me). My mother has always been present in every moment of my life and, even today, she always reaches out to us at some difficult moment or situation.

She is very sensitive and loving of her family, which she defends to the death if necessary. His family feeling is incomparable. She has a noble and sincere heart. Somewhat impulsive in her reactions, but thoughtful and very honest. A valuable and good daughter, for this reason, she is a special mother. At present, for some years now, my mother lives in the country, on a family farm. She had to move to take care of her mother (my grandmother) who is very old and has some health problems.

She and her husband manage the farm and there, Luisa Del Valle spends most of her time taking care of her 97-year-old mother. It is tender and beautiful to see how she expresses her love towards this old lady who brought her into the world and today needs her care. I miss my mother very much, and even though we talk every day up to twice a day, I will never tire of longing for the moment to see her again and hug her.

The quarantine has lengthened this desire but I am confident that sooner rather than later, we will be together again sharing that warm embrace that always comforts my soul. Let us honor and appreciate our parents in life. The best way is here and now, always expressing our love and gratitude.

Thanks to the Hive account@motherhood community in the person of Hive account@victoriabsb and Hive account@elizabeths14, as well as the Hive account@aliento project, from Hive account@eddiespino and the beautiful Hive account@grisvisa, for the opportunity to express beautiful feelings in such a special publication.

Being a mother is a unique adventure that lasts a lifetime and beyond. Let's live it with the same feeling that our mothers felt and let's make them happy with our love full time.
