[ESP/ENG] Personas y recuerdos que nos hacen sentir sentimientos encontrados/People and memories that make us feel mixed feelings
Sentí esa necesidad de conversar y desahogarme un poco y de manera oportuna me topé con esta maravillosa comunidad que lleva por nombre @catarsis, y bueno de inmediato comencé a realizar esta publicación, sé que muchos de ustedes y sobre todo mis paisanos de Venezuela deben sentir muchas veces estos que estoy sintiendo, soy un hombre muy arraigado a su familia y no tenerlos cerca como en años pasados pega y mucho, y ni hablar de esos amigos de la infancia, con los que solía salir y distraerme, de esa manera drenaba mi estrés, algo que es muy común para nosotros los latinos y mucho más los caribeños.
Pero gracias a Dios a muchos de ellos tengo la esperanza de volver a ver, porque tienen vida y salud, tal vez me toque ir a verlos o corra con la suerte de que regresen así sea de visita, pero hay otros que partieron para nunca regresar, ya que fueron de este plano terrenal, no soy ni el primero ni el último en pasar por estas experiencias que muchas veces queremos compensar con los recuerdos de vivencias a su lado, así que le haré un pequeño resumen de esos momentos que llegaron hoy a mi mente y que me hacen sentir muchos sentimientos encontrados.
In the life of every human being, there are days where the memories of those moments lived invade us, my mother always says this word, "sad memories of a happy past" and analyzing that saying of my beautiful mother, it is true, when we think of those moments full of joys, we usually get sad, well I think that today I had to be like that, I woke up with nostalgia, remembering people who are physically gone and others who for various reasons of life have moved away or simply crossed to other frontiers of the world, the reason for feeling this way, may be the proximity of the holidays, including some birthdays of important people.
I felt the need to talk and let off some steam and in a timely manner I came across this wonderful community called @catarsis, and well I immediately started to make this publication, I know that many of you and especially my fellow countrymen from Venezuela must feel many times what I am feeling, I am a man very rooted to his family and not having them close as in past years hits and much, not to mention those childhood friends, with whom I used to go out and distract me, that way I drained my stress, something that is very common for us Latinos and much more the Caribbean.
But thanks to God I have the hope to see many of them again, because they have life and health, maybe it will be my turn to go to see them or I will be lucky enough to see them come back, even if it is for a visit, but there are others who left to never return, since they left this earthly plane, I am neither the first nor the last to go through these experiences that many times we want to compensate with the memories of experiences by their side, so I will make a small summary of those moments that came to my mind today and that make me feel many mixed feelings.
Mi otra abuela, Matilde, ella no era tan parrandera pero si muy atenta y cariñosa, esas muestras de afecto me hacen mucha falta, sus abrazos y ese trato tan especial que me daba, me sentía todo un rey, su comida con un sabor inigualable, su educación y dedicación eran el sello que la caracterizaba, recuerdo las semanas santas en donde se botaba con el cabello de ángel, eso es un dulce y con la chicha, con toda sinceridad no he probado otra igual.
Fernando Ledezma, él era del combo de Justina y mi Abuela Julia, el más que un abuelo fue ese amigo, que no podía faltar en ninguna celebración, los primeros de enero junto a su hermano Gabriel, quien también está fallecido, llenando el barrio del sonido de la ranchera y de la música bailable desde muy temprano, eso si, ese día les tocaba del Escocés del bueno, ya los primeros de enero no son lo mismo desde que estos personajes inolvidables ya no están, solo con esas tres personas, al escribirles mis recuerdos la nostalgia me invade.
The experiences with my grandparents are great and enriching, my grandmother Julia in the first picture, was a woman who every December lit the fuse of the celebrations, I remember that the 31 after the embrace of the new year, she told us to go to Justina, she was her cousin who lived just two houses away, there the party was until dawn, The rum and the cream punch were left over, of course, and for us children, soft drinks, ham bread and different sweets, the music that makes me remember her so much is the paso doble and the inevitable gaita with Billos, for those who read this publication and do not know who Billos is, he is an orchestra that is still in force in every Christmas in Venezuela.
My other grandmother, Matilde, she was not so parrandera but she was very attentive and affectionate, those signs of affection I miss a lot, her hugs and that special treatment she gave me, I felt like a king, her food with a unique flavor, her education and dedication were the hallmark that characterized her, I remember the holy weeks where she used to eat angel hair, that is a sweet and with the chicha, in all sincerity I have not tasted another one like it.
Fernando Ledezma, he was from the combo of Justina and my Grandmother Julia, more than a grandfather he was that friend, who could not miss in any celebration, the first of January with his brother Gabriel, who is also deceased, filling the neighborhood with the sound of ranchera and dance music from very early, that if, that day they played the good Scotch, and the first of January are not the same since these unforgettable characters are no longer there, only with those three people, writing my memories nostalgia invades me.
Each photograph is a priceless memory for me, so many celebrations with people and relatives, who today are out of the country, it is incredible how entire families have disintegrated in recent years, especially here in Venezuela, Christmas totally deserted, where the phone is the protagonist, and praying to God that the Internet does not collapse to receive the long awaited video call, I try to overcome my nostalgia with songs of my student years, when I participated in the student festivals and now writing in this community, I hope to continue posting here and do it much more often, to all of you thank you because in one way or another reading me is like listening to me, and if you have any advice to overcome the days of nostalgia, I will accept them with much affection. Happy weekend.
