Hello dear and beloved hive community, in this new opportunity I bring you a new story that may reflect the reality in some cultures, but the truth is that I made it with a lot of respect to reflect that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
In the 1980s, a beautiful baby boy was born. His name was José, and his parents proudly named him. Eduar and Sofia, at 8 months old Jose was already taking his first steps. His father Eduar and his mother Sofia were believers of God, they prayed all the time, they had images all over the house, the car and even their work place.
It has been 1 year since Eduar and Sofia's baby son Jose was born. He was already learning to say a few words, after a few months his father Eduar began to mistreat his wife Sofia, mother of Jose, although all the neighbors thought they were the perfect marriage, of course because they could not hear how Eduar mistreated Sofia.
It has been 6 years since José's birth. Everything at home remained the same, his father Eduar continued to mistreat Sofia and not only with her, but also with José, although it was not a physical abuse, José was growing up seeing how cruel his father was with his mother and with him, unable to escape, her mother Sofia lived in submission to her husband Eduar,thinking she had no other choice.
It has been 15 years since José's birth, his father Eduar continued with the same attitudes of verbal abuse towards Sofia and José. Sofia always wondered why her husband Eduar acquired this behavior, because he was not like that when they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but she did not dare to ask him for fear that Eduar would mistreat her.
Joseph suffered in silence, all that was going on in his home and without being able to talk to anyone about what he was going through, even though Joseph tried hard to do everything that his father liked, was never enough. Although his father did not physically hit him and his mother Sofia, but he did hit him with his words, one day while he was in high school a group of young people began to mistreat him and mock him for no reason.
A few years went by, now José was studying at the university and when he thought that everything would change, since his father had been transferred to another job and was now working in another state, and he was almost no longer at home because he was promoted to national supervisor of a supermarket chain and that he and his mother Sofia would no longer be mistreated and that everything would start to make more sense.
One day Jose began to prepare everything in the house to celebrate the birthday of his mother Sofia, when he was concentrating on some arrangements of the table. Suddenly his father arrives and when José hears the door being opened, he looks to see who is coming through the door, When he sees that it is his father, he is paralyzed with fear, not knowing what his father's reaction will be. His father, upon entering and seeing all that his son José had done to celebrate his mother's birthday, calls out to him and José slowly approaches him cautiously, thinking that his father was going to destroy everything he had prepared for his mother, without saying anything, but he was even more surprised when his father told him that he would like to help him finish setting up everything for his mother's birthday celebration, When he finishes arranging everything, his father tells him that he has a gift for him and one for his mother, his father takes out of the suitcase the two gifts and gives Jose his, when he opens it and looks at what his father has given him, tears come to his eyes, his father tells him that the watch belonged to his grandfather and that now it will be his and his father shows him the gift he had for his mother and tells him what he thinks of the necklace that belonged to his grandmother and had great sentimental value for him. Jose who was still crying with happiness replies that it is a very beautiful necklace and that it must not only have a sentimental value, but also an economic value because it is made of gold with some diamond stones.
The next day Eduar, calling Sofia and his son Jose, asks him to sit next to him that he needs to have a serious conversation with them and they are intrigued to know what Eduar would talk to them about that would be so serious, they proceed to sit next to him to hear what he would say, Eduar proceeds to speak and begins by saying "My son, I know I have not been a good father and maybe you hate me for all the abuse I have caused you, Sofia my love, I know I have not been the perfect husband, maybe I expected you to be and at this moment I want to apologize for all the damage I have caused you both, I understand that you do not want to forgive me but from the heart I regret everything I have caused". Sofia and José were crying when Eduar began to speak, José responded by saying "Father, you may have all the faults in the world, but even though you verbally abused me, I forgive you and I will continue to love you". Sofia after hearing the two talk, Sofia responds by saying "You are the man I chose to be my husband and the father of my beautiful son, I forgive you and I will continue to love you even though you are not the perfect husband. I just have a curiosity and I would like you to answer me why you did what you did?" Eduar answers him by saying. "That when he was little he lived that at home and that was what he learned, but that the time he was working out of state he realized that he, was nobody without them and that he could not afford to lose the family he loved so much and would always love."
From that night everything began to change in their lives, Eduar began to fill Sofia and José with attention and love, they began to go out to eat in restaurants, go shopping, among other things.
José and Sofia thought that everything was a dream and that what was happening was not reality, so much was their happiness that they could not hide their feelings for what they were living and what they were about to live.
A few years have passed since the day Eduar asked his family for forgiveness, Jose started to do better in college and was already finishing his thesis project for graduation. When José's professors gave him the date for his graduation thesis presentation, José called his father, who was traveling to work in other states, to invite him to his thesis presentation and to invite him to the celebration that he and his classmates had scheduled for the following day, his father replied that he would not miss his graduation ceremony and its celebration for anything in the world.
The day came to expose the thesis, Jose began to prepare and when the time came he saw that his father had not yet arrived and thought that his father would not arrive on time, but what he did not know is that his father had already left in a hurry in the car to arrive on time, when Jose was already exposing his thesis his father enters the auditorium to see him expose the thesis.
The next day they went to the hall they had rented to celebrate their graduation. Jose's father, still a little stressed from the previous day, started to feel a little sick but didn't say anything so as not to ruin Jose's graduation celebration day,José looks at his father and mother happy for his graduation. Father Eduar has a heart attack and dies instantly.
In this story I wanted to reflect that we all have the opportunity to change, to improve as people and even though many of us may find ourselves in a similar situation it is always good to forgive and reflect on the situation in which we find ourselves.
I appreciate the collaboration of
