To be grateful for everything I have lived is love, for my loving family and for the people who without having my blood have given me love, I will write a different love story, where love can be instantaneous with admiration and a great way of being.
In my career I have been away from home for long periods of time, one of these cases was when I just graduated, I was sent to work in the east of my country in the city of Barcelona, that place is eight hours away from my home so I could not travel continuously, and my free time was scarce, in this hemisphere of Venezuela I had to share with a colleague from the academy.
Luckily my colleague's family was from a nearby city known as Puerto la Cruz, I don't like living in someone else's house, but this opportunity that my friend gave me by adopting me into his home to spend some time was incredible, here I met his father Mr. Hernan also known as "The Kato", in particular an excellent person who since I started to live with him and his family treated me with a lot of love.
On one occasion, one weekend, El Kato had some trees cut in front of his house by a careless looking man who was dedicated to this task. He was a very humble person who found his livelihood in cleaning gardens, fronts and cutting tree branches. This humble-looking gentleman had a long time without a good meal, without affection or appreciation.
The day started with going to look for this humble gentleman who would help us, we took him to the house and started cleaning with him, telling jokes, stories and laughing out loud. This careless-looking person had a radiant soul and was very funny. At lunchtime the lady of the house set the table, where we ate this meal with the gentleman. We had a soft drink and ate some portions of cakes. It seemed strange to me what was happening, but at the same time very gratifying, they were literally making the servant feel loved as they did me.
This man was given a bath, washed his face, arms and went out, we finished finishing the details of the front and between the activities of the day something curious happened which was that my friend's father always told him that he should be a good person, be active, keep his personality and keep earning an honest living. When the afternoon arrived and the work was finished we took him to where he usually spent his days, when El Kato paid him the man started to cry.
I think this is one of the moments where I observed love in such a clear way, I saw this gesture as a life lesson, which has helped me to find happiness day by day. This happened in the year 2017 and know that the emotion of that moment has come until today. I remember exactly how everything happened and most importantly I keep it as a precious memory. This was not the only experience I had with Mr. Hernan and his family, but in the time I shared with him I saw him as a father.

Agradecer por todo lo que he vivido es amor, por mi familia amorosa y por las personas que sin tener mi sangre me han regalado amor, les redactaré una historia de amor diferente, donde el amor puede ser instantáneo con admiración y una gran forma de ser.
En mi carrera me ha tocado en muchas ocasiones estar lejos de casa por tiempos prolongados, uno de estos casos fue cuando apenas me gradué, me enviaron a trabajar al oriente de mi país en la ciudad de Barcelona, ese lugar queda a ocho horas de mi hogar por lo cual no podía viajar continuamente, y mi tiempo libre era escaso, en este hemisferio de Venezuela me toco compartir con un compañero de la academia.
Por suerte la familia de mi compañero era de una ciudad cercana conocida como Puerto la Cruz, no me gusta vivir en una casa ajena, pero esta oportunidad que me dio mi compañero al adoptarme en su casa para pasar algunos ratos fue increíble, aquí conocí a su padre el Sr. Hernán también conocido como “El Kato”, en lo particular una excelente persona que desde que empecé a convivir con él y su familia me trataron con mucho cariño.
En una ocasión un fin de semana El Kato mando a cortar unos árboles en frente de su casa con un hombre de aspecto descuidado que se dedicaba a eso, este era una persona muy humilde, la cual encontraba su sustentación de vivir limpiando jardines, frentes y cortando ramas de árboles. Este caballero de aspecto humilde tenia rato sin una buena comida, sin cariño o aprecio.
El día empezó con ir a buscar a donde se encontraba este humilde caballero que nos ayudaría, lo llevamos a la casa y nos pusimos a limpiar con él, contamos chistes, historias y reíamos a carcajadas. Esta persona con un aspecto descuidado tenía un alma radiante y muy cómica, a la hora del almuerzo la señora de la casa puso la mesa, donde ingerimos esta comida con el caballero. Tomamos un refresco y comimos unas porciones de tortas. Me parecía raro lo que estaba pasando, pero a la vez muy gratificante, literalmente estaban haciendo que el servidor se sintiera querido como lo hacían conmigo.
Se le prestó el baño a este hombre, se lavó la cara, los brazos y salió, terminamos de finiquitar los detalles del frente y entre las actividades del día algo curioso sucedió lo cual fue que el padre de mi compañero siempre le decía que debía ser buna persona, estar activo, mantener su personalidad y seguir ganándose la vida honradamente. Al llegar la tarde y culminados los trabajos lo fuimos a llevar a donde habitualmente pasaba los días, cuando El Kato le pago el hombre empezó a llorar.
Creo que es uno de los momentos donde observé el amor de una forma tan clara, vi este gesto como una lección de vida, que me ha servido para encontrar felicidad día a día. Esto sucedió en el año 2017 y sepan que la emoción de ese momento ha llegado hasta hoy. Recuerdo exactamente como sucedió todo y lo más importante lo guardo como un recuerdo muy preciado. Esta no fue la única experiencia que viví con el Sr. Hernan ni con su familia, pero en el tiempo que compartí con él lo vi como un padre.
