Although my wife has been the person who has made my 2025 the most special, this week I decided to make an exchange. My girl went to our city to spend a few days with her mom and make preparations for the upcoming Christmas dinner, but I preferred to kidnap my mom and take her to the capital, and thus fulfill a wish I had for a long time, which was to spend many days just her and I to give her lots of love and make her happy...
My dad will soon be two years since he passed away in February, and it has been very difficult for the whole family to achieve emotional stability, and it is not only the mourning, but all the day to day problems we have to face. For me it was a very good year despite the deep sadness I still feel, but for my mom it is tougher, her whole world was her husband and she is still discovering what life is like without him.
Honestly I had been feeling very bad about her for many reasons; the first one being that we didn't really see each other hardly ever. Since I left my childhood home in January I was only able to visit her on her birthday, Mother's Day and the August vacations, I had a lot, a lot of work in 2024, so much so that the rest of the times we saw each other was because she went to the capital on my wedding day and for one of my Novembers concerts. There was another beach meeting in October, but we saw each other right on the beach.
The other reason that made me feel bad was knowing that she needed me, even if she didn't tell me, because I needed her and my brother too. There is nothing I want more since dad died than to be with my family every day, but it is not a real thing right now, so I wanted to give her a few nice days in a different city, to see other things and breathe other airs, and it was a full time job, I did not rest, but seeing her smile and forget her problems for moments was the perfect Christmas gift for both of us.
It still impresses me a lot to keep discovering this new world without my dad, it's like a wound that doesn't end up closing, but the learning to live has also been great for me, now I know what is really valuable. Having mom at home was good enough, but I took her to see Christmas in the city and the emotions did not stop, and something I loved about her was her willingness to have a good time from the moment we left home, everything was very pleasant, the trip, the food and the walks and I like to discover that she is willing to continue being happy, just like me.
That first day we arrived in the city at lunchtime, I had planned to prepare a delicious meal, but no, my hunger was very extreme and everything was frozen, so I took her to the same place where the celebration of my marriage was and that she liked so much. It was a delicious meal in a very pleasant atmosphere, but it did not take long to follow the emotions and then I took her to the fashionable shopping center to taste some delicious ice cream, which by the way I owed her from the day before because she asked me to buy it for her and I did not do it because it was too far away 😅
At my age, living with our parents is not an easy task, now I am a married man who lives in another city and I have my personality very defined, but for her I am still the same “child” who lived in her house for 25 years, but still what stands out is respect, the same respect that they instilled in me, so we always find a way to have a good time and although we have certain differences we are inseparable, in fact I do not understand families that are distant, but I do not judge them either.
My family is the only real thing I have, and while I do have many uncles and cousins, really my real family is small, the ones I grew up with, dad, mom and my brother. Our pillar left at a crucial time for us, I am at a high point professionally and away from home, my brother has even more work than me even though he is in the same city as always, and my mom has had to transform her whole life, but dealing with bereavement and not being together on a daily basis has been complicated.
This particular December is quite abstract, and that is that my wife is the one who is grieving now with the loss of her dad five months ago, so I can't distance myself too much from her either, not only because I am her husband, it's that I also know what it feels like, and this is part of what my own dad taught me. I remember when my grandparents died, I never saw my dad break down in front of us, and now I know all that he endured to be strong for his family.
How strange life is, but at the same time it is beautiful. All I wish is to continue to have the right people close to me and boy does mourning teach you to see who those people are, but my wife, my mom and my brother have the place of honor in my life and they are those people who deserve everything from me 100% of the time, the ones who put up with me and have helped me every step of the way. I can only be strong for them and for myself and try to make them happy with my actions, as I know the sadness in their hearts ❤️
Ese tiempo con tu madre es invaluable, que linda se la ve y seguramente le ha encantado pasar esos días con vos, a veces hace falta!

This was so emotional to read friend but one thing that made me smile is looking at the pictures of your mum. Your mama is drop-dead gorgeous and I can’t imagine what she looked like when she was way younger.
We all have our stories to tell and not looking like these stories of ours is everything.
