to me and to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is Mexican Mother’s Day. We are planning on celebrating on American Mother’s Day, so today was a pretty normal day. We went to Walmart, took an afternoon nap (that’s a pretty good gift around these parts), and a neighborhood walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to share this quote that I saw floating around; it’s a little different and resonated with me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A Quote for Mother’s Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hijo es un ser que nos prestaron para un curso intensivo de como amar a alguien m\u00e1s que a nosotros mismos, de c\u00f3mo cambiar nuestros peores defectos para darles los mejores ejemplos y de nosotros aprender a tener coraje. Ser padre o madre es el mayor acto de coraje que alguien puede tener, porque es exponerse a todo tipo de dolor, principalmente el de la incertidumbre de estar actuando correctamente y del miedo de perder algo tan amado.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfPerder? \u00bfc\u00f3mo? No es nuestro, \u00bfrecuerdan? Fue apenas un pr\u00e9stamo\u201d\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cierto, pero es un pr\u00e9stamo que llega a convertirse en el don m\u00e1s preciado que jam\u00e1s llegamos a tener en el ef\u00edmero tiempo que dure el empr\u00e9stito. Un pr\u00e9stamo por el que damos la vida, sabiendo que hay que devolverlo. Un pr\u00e9stamo sin intereses, pero cuyo cuidado lleva impl\u00edcito el m\u00e1s alto sacrificio y la defensa mas s\u00f3lida! Cuida tu pr\u00e9stamo, muchos lo querr\u00e1n, otros lo odiar\u00e1n, pero para ti no tiene precio.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Jos\u00e9 Saramago<\/a> (originally in Portuguese)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in English:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A son is a being that we’re loaned for an intensive course in how to love someone more than ourselves, in how to change our worst defects in order to give them the best examples and in ourselves learn to have courage. Being a father or mother is the greatest act of courage that one can have, because it is exposed to all types of pain, mainly in the uncertainty of acting correctly and the fear of losing something so beloved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing? How? It is not ours, remember? It was just a loan…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True, but it is a loan that would become the most precious gift that we’ve ever had in the ephemeral time that is the loan. A loan from that which gives us life, knowing that we must return it. A loan without interest, but whose care implies the highest sacrifice and most solid defense. Look after your loan, many will want it, others will hate it, but for you it is priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
