more from that month
Strange emotional days. Today is a day charged with many emotions, sometimes I wake up with a different outlook on life. It does not mean that on other days I am negative, no, that is not what I am trying to say but that there are days when I feel happier than other days. And today is a day where I feel immensely happy. I was thinking that it must be because yesterday I ate a lot of *arequipe*. I found it delicious, after some months of not eating to my liking as I did yesterday. Then it so happens that today I have a joy that does not fit in my heart and I have been sending messages left and right through whatsapp to all my friends expressing my great love for them.
I told you in previous posts that over the years while I studied in my careers to achieve the professions that accredit me as a health worker I met many people. Some of them became soul friends, others are just friends, but there remains a communication thanks to our friendship, but with all of them there is a bond because of the life we had and lived while studying. Today they are all special people in my life, although few are called soul friends I thank God for all this great group of people who are part of my life, my past and have a great place in my heart. I was watching a video of a friend who emigrated to another country, she is currently in Argentina with one of her younger brothers. While another of her brothers, the older one, went to Chile with his wife. But this older brother was able to return to Venezuela with his wife because her father is ill. This girl's father is suffering from cancer and his last wish was not to die without saying goodbye to his daughter. Today God had mercy on his beloved sick son in his last moments and granted him to see his daughter. Today she is back in her country to say goodbye to her father. Although this is a sad moment, it’s a happy reunion for all this family that was waiting for the happy arrival of their relative. Venezuela today has many inconveniences for flights to enter the country. Some borders with some countries are closed and flights do not come directly, people have to make a journey of odysseys through several flights to finally reach their final destination here. Today this Venezuelan woman has been able to fulfill the dream of her dying father to see her. My friend Malvy Conejero who is in Argentina, unable to come to see the rest of her family here, has sent me this sentimental video for me to share with you... which I couldn't upload since I didn't know how, sadly I can't share it with you. So that you can see a little of the feeling that comes with such a reunion, because my country is not only going through a hard time thanks to the pandemic, but it’s also going through a hard time because of the separation of families who must leave their country of origin looking for new ways to improve their lives. I really pray with all my heart that many people will be able to see their families again. After having more than two years without being able to travel and see them personally, I pray to my God that the economic situation in my country will be restored and families can be reunited.
Separations are always sad. No one likes to be separated for any reason but sometimes separations are inevitable and there is nothing left to do but to make it happen. This is a story to celebrate reunions after that long separation, a strong feeling of support to all those who today are separated by any situation. I hope that in their hearts they can find the peace and love they need to be happy, because if we go to reason, we all come to this world to be happy and it’s not worth the pain that can be had for any cause. Let us be happy. Let us be united by love, by hope, by faith, by reunions, by families, by friends, by love that can do anything. I am a strongly Christian woman under the faith of the Catholic Church. I do not lose hope that the world will find tranquility to improve from the crises that we as human beings provoke. May we all, united by the grace of love, live joyful, optimistic lives in the hands of our Creator. Whether or not you believe in the supreme God, even if you do not believe in him, you who read me today, I wish with all my heart that you may be happy at all times by the grace of God.

Condolence to your friend. I am happy that she was able to see his father.
Yes, it was a very sad reunion.
The death that leads to a reunion 😥 I remember when I eloped from home because of a misunderstanding with my father. Only the death of my grandfather reunited us again 😥
I remember that reading from one of your publications. How nice that you closed that cycle with your father. Yes, God willing.
"Separations are always sad. No one likes to be separated for any reason but sometimes separations are inevitable and there is nothing left to do but to make it happen." I agree with this. I have a lot of friends whom I missed a lot because we haven't meet for how many months now because of this pandemic.
Even if it hurts, physical separation is more painful when we want to be with our loved ones.
I wonder what arequipe is that makes you immensely happy. 😁 Stay safe always.
The reason is not because it is an arequipe, but because of the desire to eat a very appreciated sweet. It is made with caramelized sugar and milk. It has a soft and semi-hard texture. It is placed on top of cakes and ice cream to increase its deliciousness.
Oh, it is like yema in our place. 😁 Thanks for the clarification.
ok, thank you for your comment
I really pray with all my heart that many people will be able to see their families again. - I felt sad with this. I've been away from my family for two years now because of the pandemic. But I do pray and believe that God will help me reunite again with my family. On the other hand, it is really sad sometimes that death will only be the reason for a family to be reunited. But everything happens for a reason. Send my condolences to your friend's family.
Thank you for your beautiful words of empathy with my friend's situation.
I will pray with you gert. As I am reading this your strong vibrant of happiness is visible. I am happy for you as well.
Thank you for that.
I love the parting words. Full of love and positivity. It's a bittersweet moment for your friend but that is life. Full of contrasts and we experience them all at once. Above all, love must prevail. Regarding the video, maybe you can upload it in youtube and embed it here or share the link.
I tried to pass the video but the page told me it was not allowed. Maybe the video comes with something that prevents it. Anyway, the video was recorded by my friend's brother. Too many people have died without saying goodbye to their loved ones. This girl has succeeded.
Hello Friend. An inspiring article that touches the fibers of my heart. I join your request so that each one, despite the adverse circumstances that they go through, achieves the happiness they deserve. Thanks for sharing with us.
What happened to you, my friend? You don't write like you used to. I hope you are well with your family.
> What happened to you, my friend? You don't write like you used to. I hope you are well with your family. Good! Nothing special, I just made a brief stop to attend to pending issues outside the digital space. Around here, we are doing well, as far as we can. Thanks for asking.
Ok, I'm glad then. Catch up on what you have and come back. lol.
Our country goes through difficult times that go beyond the pandemic. And the complication isn't only for those who come from abroad. Also, moving internally through the country is difficult. The lack of fuel hinders all communications. It is a bittersweet moment for your friend because he can see his family again, but at the same time, he comes to say goodbye to his father. Let us hope for better times for all of us. Saludos!
Yes, I really hope everything changes here. I still have a year to stay in the country but if nothing changes in that time I must accompany my son and I must emigrate with him. My whole family is separated.
That is the concern we all have. My son is in his last year of high school, and he wants to win a scholarship to study abroad. . If that happens, I will do my best to leave, too. It is a sad reality we have, but for the young here there are no opportunities.
Absolutely true. And in agreement.
I pray for this pandemic to be over so that families will be reunited again. This has been a very difficult situation. We have suffered already, I hope the citizens will be responsible to their actions as well 🥺
For us, it's not just the pandemic. Long before that, families were leaving my country because of the critical situation we live in.
I hope everyone recovers and gets better ❤
