Love the real thing
Venezuela is the country of goodbyes. Those who leave and those who stay suffer, and as a family we have devised through many video calls different ways to be able to remain united despite the distance.
My family has been physically separated for years, we are scattered in Argentina, USA, Spain, Holland and Venezuela, this year we could not unite and celebrate as we did when we were together.
Family from afar
On Saturday my sister made a family video with photos that made us cry and laugh, remember unique moments where we shared: reunions, parties and achievements, at the end of the video a tribute to our parents still alive.
My parents were fascinated with their gift and we their children were satisfied and happy to see us, I love them family they are my treasure, and although we are not together physically, every day I feel them closer in my heart.
I love these emotions in time of celebrations, ideas, meetings, alliances and shared moments that create important spaces to cheer the soul, when it comes to seal with solidarity and love in the family.
We have reached another day, a Sunday with health, with God and his wonders before our eyes... and in many parts of the world we celebrate Father's Day, and my country is no exception.
My beloved parents
The years have passed and we (my husband and me) are in our 60s and more, ... Our expression lines give us away, and the scabs caused by time are experiences that no one can erase from this intense life of being fathers.
On a walk with my family
This weekend by the shadow in me, Maracaibo city, before one of those downpours fell, one of those that fall from the sky suddenly, and cool the bushes, but that fuel the humidity of June, we were invited to walk and have lunch outside the house.
We went to celebrate Father's Day with family and close affections using this phrase of the day "After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere" I alluded to it because we had no reservation anywhere for the occasion.
Suddenly my husband Juan, I want to eat fried fish with yucca and tostones with white cheese, the rest was easy to decide, we had it just around the corner, 15 minutes away from our house.
The beautiful and colorful Santa Rosa de Agua (Our Zulian Venice) is a tourist reference of Maracaibo.
It is a community of fishermen whose purpose for those of us who visit it is to become aware of these spaces as a means of cultural exchange decreed by UNESCO as a World Historical Architectural Heritage.
Under the beloved and energizing sun of Maracaibo we arrived in the city of the palafitos (stilt houses), a place of reunions, cold beers, local gastronomy, love, and boats for the lake tour (Lake Maracaibo).
My daughter and her husband
Between diners moved informal merchants selling local handicrafts, coconut preserves, Creole sweets typical of this region, others more daring even sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sunlight.
Using time wisely is the key to listen to the echo of your heart, perpetuate in your memories where you would like to stop the time realizing your dreams, as it is achieved by me this Sunday weekend with my family.
Beautiful afternoon and continued the walk with my husband's company, there were no material gifts, balloons, no champagne, but there was love, the real kind.
Which shows me even more, what is really important "my family and close affections united" with those things that fill you and make you touch the sky that are priceless.
I do not know what the future brings, what I do know, is that the love that unites us, will always be planted in my soul, thank you all for the best gift of Father's Day (human and fraternal warmth).
When I got home I told my husband "now I know that my home is where my heart is and my heart is where my affections are" we just hugged and thanked life for so much.
From my land of the beloved sun

Amiga how happy I am to see you happy with your family.
How nice that you enjoyed your Father's Day in the company of your daughter and far away from all your loved ones.
I can imagine how beautiful the place was, with what you can see in the pictures, which were great.
Especially those couples that radiate so much love.
Blessings friend.
My dear Lady it was a Sunday weekend with family celebrating with Juan and the daughter I have in the country.
Healthy recreation and above all lots of love, joy to live, hugs and beach.
Times that we should take advantage of and enjoy with those who are around us, and by our side.
I do not have enough words to express so much emotion to enjoy with my dear parents by video call I love you ... 🥰.
Thank you, Lord, for your love and for your infinite blessings.❤️
Have the best Tuesday possible, beloved friend @leidimarc

The food looks delicious and the place is really beautiful! Just right to spend a nice time surrounded by loved ones!
Once again, happy father's day to Juan! Greetings @janitzearratia
Life is full of majestic situations and signs, dear friend, it was a wonderful family weekend.
Every day in our lives there are signs and tokens of affection everywhere, maybe we do not always notice it.
A beautiful family that gave us this lunch in this Zulian Venice, with many demonstrations of affection, broke the heart of happiness .... What beautiful details we had Juan and myself
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on this post, I appreciate it very much, dear Rosa.
Have the best midweek Wednesday, friend of life @rlathulerie
