What activities will you participate in this weekend and why? Week #187

Happy and blessed new year to all this beautiful Community. May happiness and prosperity touch the doors of your home.
This weekend has been very important for me. Yesterday, Friday, after a long trip, part of my maternal family, my aunt, my cousin, her husband and children, arrived.

I had not seen them for 6 years, they were not out of the country, they live in another state that is 8 hours away from the city where I live but with the problem of gasoline that exists here in Venezuela it has been difficult for us to travel, however we kept in touch by phone, but nothing replaces a hug from your loved ones.

arrived yesterday at 5: 30 in the afternoon and to see my aunt was to see my mom since her resemblance is unique, my mom has a year that she is not physically with us she left this physical plane in November 2022 and it is so much the resemblance of my aunt with my mom that I did not want to lose a second away from her I felt that I had my mom again at home and not only for that reason I did not want to leave her but because she also has symptoms that her mind is losing lucidity , And I know that this visit was not by chance but because it is perhaps the last time I will have and enjoy my lucid aunt.

On the other hand with my cousin I had not talked to her for so long. Since we were both little we were always confidants of each other, we shared so many things together and since I stopped traveling to the East of the country we lost that physical connection, however we maintained communication by telephone and we sat and talked for long hours about all the things that have happened to us, we laughed, we cried, it was truly for me the best gift.

It is very sad to have your family so far away, I am fortunate that my family is far away but within the country there are others who have their family in other borders and there is nothing like the warmth of a hug from your family and I was able to experience that this weekend, Since at home there are only my daughters and I and each one with their obligations and the house feels lonely the arrival of my family the house was filled with noise, laughter and laughter for me that was so rewarding the table in my home was full of people with beautiful feelings my brother also came with his wife we sat on a porch that I have outside and there we talked talked laughed we remembered so many things of our childhood of our family life we remembered my mother a lot I think that at noon we talked so much we counted the absences of 6 years.

There is nothing more gratifying, nothing more splendid than family. Family is everything, family nourishes you, family fills you with an incredible energy and that is how my family is and I know that when they go home I will miss them very much, but I promised that this year I will do everything humanly possible to travel to the East of my country to visit all my family because I am the only one in the family that is so far away from the rest of my family. I thank God for allowing this beautiful reunion to happen.
