[ENG/ESP] LOH # 275 / From an initial mistaken judgment, my eternal love was born / "De un primer juicio erróneo, nació mi amor eterno"
Hello to everyone in the community.
I'm so grateful for the recognition I received last week.
When have you completely misjudged someone upon first meeting them, only to later discover they were much better or much worse than you originally thought?

I must say that you should never judge people by their appearance, because what defines a person are their actions and the kindness they carry in their heart.
However, I haven't always followed this principle, and life has taught me an unforgettable lesson.
Let me tell you about one of those times when I misjudged someone, and they turned out to be the complete opposite of what I thought. I must add that I'm very glad I was wrong, because it was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
In 1997, I was the principal of a junior high school, and a serious teacher arrived who hardly spoke to anyone. I don't know why, but I thought he was apathetic, indifferent, or indolent. I remember telling some friends that I didn't like his personality: serious and impenetrable.
However, one day, at a gathering for International Women's Day, he prepared an activity that amazed us. When we spoke with his students, it turned out they had a different opinion than mine and loved their teacher very much.
On another occasion, blood donations were needed for someone in critical condition, and this teacher offered to donate with no other interest than the gratitude of all of us.

When I got to know him well, I discovered a sweet, chivalrous, culture-loving, and very responsible human being.
Over time, such a beautiful feeling grew between us that, 28 years later, we remain united by bonds of love.
Yes, that person is my husband, who embodies the values of the person I always wanted by my side: he values my individuality, respects me, and loves me unconditionally. He strives to understand my emotional world and maintains an admirable, unwavering dedication to me. But, besides his love, what I admire most is his unconditional support and how he has celebrated my successes and been there for me during the saddest moments of my life.

Finally, when he came into my life, I was divorced and had two young children. He helped me shape the character of my two treasures and raise them in the best way possible.
A final thought
My husband taught me the most important lesson in this regard and has always told me that we shouldn't judge without knowing, because we often get a surprise that can be pleasant or disappointing.
In his case, I'm glad I was wrong for the better, and I'm grateful that he's been by my side for almost three decades.

Hola a todas las personas que forman parte de la comunidad.
Estoy muy contenta por el reconocimiento que me hicieron la semana anterior y se lo agradezco mucho.
Hoy quiero participar en uno de los temas propuestos para esta semana y responder esta pregunta:
¿Cuándo juzgaste completamente mal a alguien al conocerlo por primera vez y luego descubriste que era mucho mejor o mucho peor de lo que pensabas originalmente?

Debo decir que nunca se debe juzgar a las personas por su apariencia, porque lo que define a una persona son sus acciones y la bondad que lleva en el corazón.
Sin embargo, no siempre he cumplido con esta máxima y la vida se ha encargado de darme una lección inolvidable.
Les cuento una de esas ocasiones en las que juzgué mal a una persona y resultó ser todo lo contrario a lo que pensaba. Debo agregar que me alegra mucho haberme equivocado, porque ha sido una de las mejores cosas que me han pasado en la vida.
En 1997 era directora de una secundaria básica y llegó un profesor serio, que no hablaba con casi nadie. No sé por qué, pensé que era una persona apática, indiferente o indolente. Recuerdo que comenté con algunas amigas que no me gustaba la manera de ser de esa persona: seria e impenetrable.
Sin embargo, un día, en un encuentro por el Día Internacional de la Mujer, nos preparó una actividad que nos dejó maravilladas. Al hablar con sus estudiantes, resultó que tenían una opinión diferente a la mía y querían mucho a su profesor.
En otra ocasión, hacía falta una donación de sangre para una persona que estaba en una situación de salud delicada y este profesor se ofreció a donar sin ningún interés más que las gracias de todos nosotros.

Cuando llegué a conocer bien a esa persona, descubrí un ser humano dulce, caballeroso, amante de la cultura y muy responsable.
Con el tiempo, surgió entre los dos un sentimiento tan bello que, 28 años después, continuamos unidos por lazos de amor.
Sí, esa persona es mi esposo, quien encarna los valores de la persona que siempre deseé tener a mi lado: valora mi individualidad, me respeta y me ama sin ataduras. Se esfuerza por comprender mi mundo emocional y mantiene una dedicación permanente hacia mí digna de admirar. Pero, además de su amor, lo que más admiro es su apoyo incondicional y cómo ha celebrado mis éxitos y ha estado en los momentos más tristes de mi vida.

Por último, cuando llegó a mi vida, yo estaba divorciada y tenía dos niños pequeños. Él me ayudó a formar el carácter de mis dos tesoros y a educarlos de la mejor manera posible.
Una reflexión final
Mi esposo me dio la lección más importante en este sentido y siempre me ha dicho que no debemos juzgar sin conocer, porque muchas veces nos llevamos una sorpresa que puede ser agradable o decepcionante.
En su caso, me alegra haberme equivocado para bien y agradezco que esté junto a mí después de casi tres décadas de vida.

It's very hard and difficult to judge people.

That's how it is.
In this case I had to swallow misjudging a person and 28 years later we are still together. Blessings.
