Contest: A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

avatar

PATRICIA cries inconsolably, she receives a message on her cell phone informing her that her mother has died.

PATRICIA llora desconsoladamente, recibe un mensaje en su celular informándole que su madre ha muerto.

She feels very sorry for the way she treated her mother, and the saddest thing is that she could NOT apologize, her mother was fine or at least that's what she thought when she left her house in the morning, apparently her mother suffered a heart attack.

Siente mucha pena por cómo la trató, y lo más triste es que no pudo disculparse. Su madre estaba bien, o al menos eso pensó al salir de casa por la mañana. Al parecer, sufrió un infarto.

PATRICIA receives another message, she must go meet with her brothers to organize her mother's funeral, a message that leaves her devastated.

PATRICIA recibe otro mensaje: debe reunirse con sus hermanos para organizar el funeral de su madre. Un mensaje que la deja devastada.

She will have to see her mother's body, she does NOT feel able to go and immediately writes to her brothers that she will NOT go.

Tendrá que ver el cuerpo de su madre; no se siente capaz de ir y de inmediato les escribe a sus hermanos que no irá.

One of her brothers arrives at the place where she is her and says, "Come on, we need you." Patricia replies, "Remember how I treated Mom." Her brother says, "Come on, you'll sleep for a while and then you'll decide."

Uno de sus hermanos llega al lugar donde está y le dice: «Vamos, te necesitamos». Patricia responde: «Recuerda cómo traté a mamá». Su hermano le dice: «Vamos, dormirás un rato y luego decidirás».

Both walk, slowly in silence, they arrive home, PATRICIA feels tired, she lies down and falls into a deep sleep, a dream in which she sees her mother, MOM forgive me please she says crying, the mother says Honey I have already forgiven you, change your ways and try to be a good person, change and you will be happy, I will take care of you from heaven, PATRICIA wakes up, tells her brothers about the dream, her mother has already forgiven her, they all take their mother to the cemetery.

Ambos caminan, lentamente en silencio, llegan a casa, PATRICIA se siente cansada, se acuesta y cae en un sueño profundo, un sueño en el que ve a su madre, MAMÁ perdóname por favor dice llorando, la madre dice Cariño ya te he perdonado, cambia tu forma de ser y trata de ser una buena persona, cambia y serás feliz, yo te cuidaré desde el cielo, PATRICIA despierta, les cuenta a sus hermanos el sueño, su madre ya la perdonó, todos llevan a su madre al cementerio.

Las madres siempre perdonan, es una cualidad única. Un texto con un buen final, para reflexionar. Un abrazo.

Mothers always forgive; it's a unique quality. A text with a good ending, food for reflection. Hugs.

I've seen some children treat their parents badly , it shouldn't be this way. I'm an orphan, but I sleep peacefully, my conscience is at peace. I gave my mother everything she asked for and treated her well.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and visiting my blog.
I wish you a happy start to the week

It is a story that leaves us thinking about forgiveness and death. We always want to know if our dearly departed loved ones forgave us before they died.

This was heartrending to the end ... but it is sure that all those who are in Heaven indeed forgive, and there is nothing they would want more than for us to live as those who are called as they are, to be there in due time.
