Hello again here, your friend Gledys; today I want to share with you the following reflection: Observing the society and the environment that surrounds me, I am very struck by the emotional state with which our parents, grandparents and uncles (all in their third age) have remained in their homes alone, cherishing the hope of being reunited and seeing their children, grandchildren, their boys that they raised and raised for life, come back. In their eyes you can see an encouraging gleam and; although with tears in them, they whisper between their lips "They will return".

They make their days, one day, the only day to live... they go to the market, they sit in the plazas to talk on the phone with someone who is no longer by their side, they visit old friends or if the opportunity presents itself they return home with a little bag, loaded with some details or gifts that they receive from the son, the grandson who sent them, with a friend who recently returned from abroad.

Hola nuevamente por aquí, su amiga Gledys; hoy quiero compartir con ustedes la siguiente reflexión: Observando la sociedad y el medio que me rodea.Me llama mucho la atención el estado emocional con que nuestros padres abuelos y tíos (todos en su tercera edad) han quedado en sus casas solos, acobijando la esperanza de reencontrarse y ver regresar a sus hijos, nietos,sus muchachos aquellos que levantaron y criaron para la vida. En sus ojos se les nota, un brillo alentador y; aunque con lágrimas en ellos, susurran entre labios "Ellos volverán".

Hacen de sus días, de un día, el único por vivir... van al mercado, se sientan en las plazas a conversar por medio de un teléfono con alguno que ya no está a su lado, visitan viejas amistades o si la oportunidad se les presentan regresan a casa con alguna bolsita, cargada con algunos detalles o regalitos que reciben del hijo, el nieto que les envió, con un amigo que recién regreso del extranjero.

But it is inevitable to hide the fact that these people who dedicated themselves to raise generations, to give everything for everything. Now, they are submerged in a picture of oblivion, sadness and lamentation and very often in loneliness and illness. Where they overcome to dissimulate and keep silent and with a pat between shoulders they answer themselves "They will come back".

How to forget! How to leave behind those who are the progenitors of our lives, who were the walls of protection, in their homes and families. They should be the first in line, in an air flight to that home where they can breathe love, respect, tolerance and companionship to a place where they can continue to deliver, their experiences, their wisdom and knowledge that gives the years. But not to turn them into a suitcase that sometimes even produces hindrance.

Pero es inevitable ocultar que estas personas que se dedicaron a levantar generaciones, a dar el todo por el todo. Ahora, sean sumergidos en un cuadro de olvido, tristeza y lamento y con mucha frecuencia en la soledad y enfermedad. Dónde se sobreponen a disimular y callar y con una palmadita entre hombros se responden "Ellos volverán".

Cómo olvidar!! Como dejar atrás a quienes son los progenitores de nuestras vidas, quienes fueron los muros de protección, en sus hogares y familias. Ellos deberían ser los primeros en la fila, en un vuelo aéreo con destino a ese hogar donde pueda respirar amor, respeto, tolerancia y compañia a un sitio donde puedan seguir entregando, sus experiencias, su sabiduría y el conocimiento que da los años. Mas no convertirlos en una maleta que a veces hasta produce estorbo.

Our grandparents, parents and elders should be the first to serve the table, the first to greet us in the morning, and the first to kiss us before going to bed. We must become the hand that wipes away their tears as they roll down their cheeks, wrinkled from so much walking. Let us not leave them alone! Just reward to those who gave everything for us!

Nuestros abuelos, padres y ancianos han de ser los primeros al servir la mesa,los primeros al saludar en la mañana, y el primer beso antes de acostarnos. Nosotros, transformarnos en esa mano que les seca la lágrima cuando rueda por sus mejillas arrugas de tanto andar. No los dejemos solos! Recompensa justa a quienes lo dieron todo por nosotros!!
