"Mother: the most beautiful word uttered by human beings."
Gibran Kahlil Gibran
Happy #motherhood day friends. Today in Venezuela we celebrate Mother's Day and although I am one of those who think that we do not need a special date to honor that special being who gave us life, I take this opportunity to recognize the unparalleled work we do every day. Being a mother is a constant challenge, a continuous learning process that allows us to improve and grow as human beings. We are far from perfection, however, from love we make the greatest effort to give our children the necessary tools to become capable adults and that is what really counts. As long as we have life and health the work of a mother does not end, for that and many more reasons my greatest recognition and admiration to all the moms of this community.
In this month of mothers here, celebrations abound everywhere. One of the most emotional for me has always been the one the teachers prepare at school. This year only José's grade was organized for this purpose, because Mariana's teachers were involved in protest activities for a better salary and did not have time to call the mothers.
In order to cover the expenses of the celebration they asked for a monetary contribution from the mothers, as well as a poster board and pink and white balloons. The appointment was for Thursday the 11th of this month at 9 am, I was a little late and arrived around 10 am, so Jose received me a little anxious because the other children were already with their mothers. Everything was very organized starting with a nice space prepared for us to have nice pictures as a souvenir.
The meeting took place between snacks, cake, drinks and some activities such as poetry and songs. It was José Guillermo's turn to declaim one of the poems, but when it was his turn he got very nervous and could not speak, so the teacher left it for the end and allowed him to read it, with the intention of calming him down. When he finished he walked to where I was, gave me a hug and asked me if I had done well, obviously I said yes, our approval for them is always important and motivates them to strive and improve in any aspect of their lives.
The whole group of children interpreted the song Como te Pago by Lenier Mesa, it was a very nice number, but honestly I don't like the style of the song so I would have preferred that they chose another theme🙈. It was difficult to get a good picture of that moment, because the children were restless and heated.
The effort made by the teachers paid off, the moms were satisfied with everything prepared and the children were happy to celebrate their mothers. At the moment of cutting the cake José asked me for a photo with his teachers, he loves them very much and without a doubt they also deserve all my admiration and respect, because they play a vital role in the education and academic formation of our children. It is not an easy task to take care of 40 children daily, however they are women gifted with the capacity and wisdom to perform such a noble task.
Finally we received from our children a gift that they prepared with the help of their teachers, a beautiful greeting card with a touching message and some earrings.
Antes de retirarnos aproveché el espacio y le pedí a José que buscara a su hermana para tomarnos una foto, ellos son mi inspiración, mis compañeros de aventuras, uno de los motivos por los que me mantengo de pie a pesar de las adversidades. Agradecida estaré eternamente por la dicha de ser su madre, su guía, la luz que ilumina su camino.
Before leaving, I took advantage of the space and asked José to look for his sister to take a picture of us, they are my inspiration, my companions in my adventures, one of the reasons why I keep standing up despite adversity. I will be eternally grateful for the joy of being their mother, their guide, the light that illuminates their path.
Se que aún me falta mucho por recorrer, que hay cosas que puedo mejorar como mamá, por eso vivo cada día dispuesta a sacar provecho de cada vivencia y por supuesto a APRENDER.
I know that I still have a long way to go, that there are things I can improve as a mom, so I live every day ready to take advantage of every experience and of course to LEARN.

Es bonito y muy emotivo compartir estas fechas con nuestros niños... Ellos se ponen muy felices! Gracias por compartirlo...
Bendiciones 🙏
Si 😍 las maestras hicieron un gran trabajo con la decoración. Definitivamente lo más bonito de todo es la emoción de los niños al sentir que celebran a sus madres! ✨
Felicidades y bendiciones para ti también 🙏😇
It is good that the school organized such event where mothers could celebrate it with their children.
Oh yes, it's part of our culture, at school they are always ready to celebrate and honor mothers, fathers and of course the children, who are the center of our universe! ✨
That's very great.
Hello, I work at a school and we also had a party and a gift for the mothers 😊 It is very important for children to have their mothers present in these activities. Some mothers were unable to come and the children were a little frustrated. Thanks for sharing this moment with us ❤️
Oh, how unfortunate that some mothers could not attend, I understand that sometimes there are situations that are beyond our reach, but on those special dates we should always try to be there for them. ❤️
Una linda celebración de verdad que las maestras son creativas con lo que les dieron crearon esa hermosa decoración y las hicieron pasar un día especial, me alegra que lo disfrutarás @morenaluna
