My sweet hero [ENG][ESP]

in #hive-17079811 months ago

My name is Cristina and today I will tell you about my mother. Before Cristina continued speaking, Flor Hernandez raised her hand and said to everyone present "the teacher said it was an exposition of our heroes, not of the mothers or fathers".

The teacher tells Flor to take a seat and listen to what Cristina wants to explain, if at the end she had any doubt or discomfort she could let her know but at the end of the explanation. Meanwhile Cristina interlocked her hands and tried to blow her fingers because of her nerves. But this was not going to take her strength away from her presentation, she felt very confident about what she was going to say and very proud of the words she prepared. So when the teacher said, "You may continue, Cristina," she calmly looked up and began to speak again.

Mi nombre es Cristina y el día de hoy les hablaré de mi madre. Antes de que Cristina siguiera hablando levanta la mano Flor Hernandez y dice a todos los presentes "la maestra dijo que era una exposición de nuestros héroes no de las madres o padres".

La maestra le indica a Flor que tome asiento y escuché lo que Cristina quiere explicar, si al final tenía alguna duda o incomodidad podría hacerla saber pero al final de la explicación. Mientras tanto Cristina entrelazaba sus manos e intentaba sonarse los dedos debido a los nervios. Pero esto no iba a quitarle fuerzas a su exposición, ella se sentía muy segura de lo que iba a decir y muy orgullosa de las palabras que preparó. Por eso cuando la maestra dijo " puedes continuar Cristina", ella calmadamente levantó la mirada y comenzó a hablar de nuevo.

Cristina explained that her mother was her hero, because from the moment she brought her into the world she began to protect her, take care of her, support her, went to her when she needed her, defended her when they wanted to hurt her and asked everyone, "Isn't that something heroes do? All of Cristina's classmates and most of the parents present looked at each other and then said in unison "yes, that is something heroes do".

Cristina went on to talk about how her mom fought for her and that when she grew up she wanted to be like her. The parents were so admired by Cristina's way of expressing her mother that one of them shouted "Let the mother come in and stand by her daughter's side, just like the fireman stood by Román's side and the policeman stood by Fernanda's side".

Cristina explicó que su madre era su heroína, porque desde que la trajo al mundo comenzó a protegerla, cuidarla, apoyarla, acudía a ella cuando la necesitaba, la defendía cuando querían hacerle daño y les pregunto a todos ¿ eso no es algo que hacen los héroes? Todos los compañeros de Cristina y la mayoría de los padres presentes se miraban entre sí para luego decir al unísono " si, eso es algo que hacen los heroes".

Cristina continuó hablando de cómo su mamá luchaba por ella y de que cuando fuera grande quería ser como ella. Los padres estaban tan admirados por la manera de expresarse Cristina de su madre que uno de ellos gritó " Que pase la madre y se pare al lado de su hija, así como el señor bombero estuvo al lado de Román y como el señor policía estuvo al lado de Fernanda".

Cristina strongly answered "Sometimes heroes also get sick and although they are the sweetest of all they also have problems, today my heroine is in the hospital because she is so good and sweet that her blood sugar went up. But before she came to class she called me, she wanted to make sure I was okay and calm my nerves. She thinks my heroes are the doctors, but for me it's her struggling to get well just to be with me."

The teacher intervened and thanked Cristina for her presentation, she also said that Cristina's mother was hospitalized while her blood sugar stabilized. No one present asked Cristina any more questions, everyone was impacted by the sad but beautiful message Cristina conveyed, to be a hero you don't need to be invincible, you just need someone who trusts you and how brave you are, to make the lives of the people you love happier and safer.

Cristina con mucha fuerza contestó " A veces los héroes también se enferman y aunque sean los más dulces de todos también tienen problemas, el día de hoy mi heroína esta recluida en el hospital porque es tan buena y dulce que se le subió el azúcar de su sangre. Pero antes de que viniera a clases me llamó, quería estar segura de que me sentía bien y calmar mis nervios. Ella piensa que mis héroes son los doctores, pero para mí es ella que lucha por ponerse bien solo para estar conmigo".

La maestra intervino y dió las gracias a Cristina por su exposición, también dijo que la mamá de Cristina estaba hospitalizada mientras su azúcar en sangre se estabilizaba. Ningún presente le hizo más preguntas a Cristina, todos quedaron impactados por el mensaje tan triste pero tan bonito que trasmitió Cristina, para ser un héroe no necesitas ser invencible, solo necesitas a alguien que confíe en tí y en lo valiente que eres, hacer de la vida de las personas que quieres más feliz y segura.

At the end of that day Cristina went to the local hospital to visit her mom, bought a bouquet of roses and wrote a message on the little card. When she entered the room where her mother was, she noticed her mother smiling and asked her what was wrong, her mother told her "we are going home, my sugar is stable". What a joy Cristina felt, she gave her bouquet of flowers and they went home.

Years went by, Cristina's mother still has high blood sugar, but together they have overcome this terrible disease, it is a chronic disease, which means that it cannot be cured, but her mother, with her love for her and for life, goes ahead no matter what comes her way. With a smile she says "I am very sweet, that's why my sugar goes up". Cristina's mother will always remember that day, the pain she felt for not being with her little girl at that moment, the sadness for not hearing her presentation, but Cristina was in charge of summarizing it in that note she took to the hospital along with the flowers, the one she has kept as a valuable treasure, there she says "you are my hero mom".

Al finalizar ese día Cristina se dirigió al hospital de la zona para visitar a su mamá, compró un ramo de rosas y escribió un mensaje en la pequeña tarjeta. Cuando entró a la habitación donde se encontraba su madre la notó sonriendo y le preguntó que pasaba, su mamá le dijo " nos vamos a casa, mi azúcar está estable". Que alegría sintió Cristina, le dió su ramo de flores y se fueron a su hogar.

Así pasaron los años, a la mamá de Cristina aún se le sigue subiendo su azúcar en sangre, pero juntas han superado esta terrible enfermedad, es una enfermedad crónica, es decir que no se cura, pero su mamá con su amor por ella y por la vida sigue adelante sin importar lo que se le presente. Con una sonrisa dice " es que soy muy dulce por eso se sube mi azúcar". La mamá de Cristina siempre recordará ese día, el dolor que sentía por no estar en ese momento con su pequeña, la tristeza por no escuchar su exposición, pero Cristina se encargó de resumirsela en esa nota que le llevó al hospital junto con las flores, esa que tiene guardada como un valioso tesoro, allí dice " eres mi heroína mamá".

The pain of living with high blood sugar, it's totally draining most time. I felt sad when my uncle died of that terrible chronic disease. I felt sad reading this as it reminded me of my late Uncle.

You are absolutely right, it is also a silent disease that causes a lot of anguish when it wreaks havoc on health, in my mom's case I can notice when she has symptoms and it worries me, because it indicates that she has high blood sugar levels, and we must act promptly for them to be regulated. I am so sorry for what happened to your uncle, although it was not my intention to remember that difficult time in your life, full of pain and anguish. As complicated as this disease can be, you can also be positive. I congratulate you and thank you for the courage you have shown in commenting. May the beautiful memories you had with your uncle before he rested in death invade your mind and may you keep in mind that he was a brave man.

Hi there @nathy33, if you translate from Spanish, it’s advisable to include the original story underneath the English version.

Your story highlights the importance of our mothers’ and just how sweet they are even in the most challenging of circumstances.

I appreciate the suggestion @theinkwell regarding the translation, I will take it into account from this publication and the next ones.
And that's the part I wanted to highlight, that despite the adversities that our mothers may experience, they can always be positive and sweet. Thank you for your support and your valuable comments

Honestly, our mothers are our heroes and they are sweeter than sugar, I was just reflecting on my life and at every point I see my mom standing in the gap for me. What can we do without our mothers?

Cristiana is such a brave girl. I pray for good health for her mother. God will see them through.

It is a good reflection, that is why we should value them and appreciate their support and advice. What they manage to do for us, sometimes escapes our understanding, that's why you define them as our heroines and when you become a mother, as is my case, you understand it much better. I congratulate you for the love and trust you place in your mother. Blessings to her and to you. Thank you for commenting

Smiles.. thanks so much for sharing this post with us ma, the pleasure is all mine, see you around

It is a touching story, having a family member with a chronic illness is difficult and what helps them a lot is having the support of their loved ones.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Good day.

Thank you for your valuable comment, it is not easy as you say, but as long as you have the support of family and friends it is easier to cope, also on our part we must be very attentive so that the depression that causes a situation like this, does not add to the disease and our loved one becomes vulnerable to health and economic problems.
