Jarb and I have known each other since we were kids. He lives in Higuerote, a coastal city in my country, Venezuela. We met because my mom, when she got married, had her honeymoon there and, by chance, met Jarb's mom and uncle. They got along so well that it became a regular trip for us.
Jarb y yo nos conocemos desde niños. Él vive en Higuerote, que es una ciudad costera de mi país, Venezuela. Nos conocimos porque mi mamá, cuando se casó, tuvo su luna de miel allá y conoció por casualidad a la mamá y el tío de Jarb. Se cayeron tan bien que se convirtió en un viaje recurrente para nosotros.
When Jarb and I were kids, I was three years older than him, which made the age difference a bit of a barrier. I was 11, and he was 8, so I was in the early stages of adolescence. It was hard for us to interact much because of that gap. But as we grew older, we realized we weren’t just the children of these two women who were friends (our moms); we genuinely liked each other, and our friendship grew stronger over time.
Para cuando Jarb y yo éramos niños, yo era 3 años mayor que él, y eso hacía que la diferencia de edad nos dificultara interactuar mucho entre nosotros. Yo tenía 11, y él 8, así que yo era un preadolescente. Pero a medida que fuimos creciendo, nos dimos cuenta de que no solo éramos los hijos de estas mujeres que son amigas (nuestras madres), sino que genuinamente nosotros nos caíamos muy bien, y esta amistad se reforzó con el tiempo.
We drifted apart because I stopped going to Higuerote regularly. In fact, it’s been 10 years since I last went to his mom’s house. However, every time he comes to Caracas, he visits me. These photos were taken some time ago, and Jarb doesn’t look like this anymore. Now, I have daughters, and he has a son. Adulthood has separated us, but I still feel a lot of affection for him. I know that whenever we meet, we’re both happy to see each other.
Nos distanciamos porque dejé de ir a Higuerote con regularidad. De hecho, tengo 10 años que no voy a casa de su mamá. Pero siempre que viene a Caracas, me visita. Estas fotografías fueron hace tiempo, y Jarb ahora no se ve así. Pero ahora yo tengo hijas, y él tiene un hijo. Y digamos que la vida de adultos nos ha separado. Aun así, siento bastante aprecio por él y sé que si nos encontramos, ambos nos sentimos felices de vernos.
