Birthday Conversation
Wake up, my love, today is your birthday.
No, my old man, I don't want to get up today.
Why not, Today is a very special
day, it's your birthday...
No, it will be like the last few
years, eating dinner alone, staying up a little longer than usual, hoping that
our children will arrive. Falling asleep crying in each other's arms, seeing
that dawn broke and they didn't arrive once again.
Don't cry, my darling. There were always two of us,
you and me. Our children were a gift from God, but they are grown. We have to
let them fly. We already gave them all the love we could, we can't do more.
I know, my old man, but it doesn't stop hurting,
this hole they leave in our soul, this pain of loneliness, another little
broken piece, every year one more.
Don't cry anymore, my old lady. Think about it:
when you were children, all happy together, opening the gifts and cutting the
cake. We gave them what we could, it was not up to us. We gave them all our
love. Now they are grown up, they are doing well in life. We must be happy for
them, even though with their wealth, they have taken us out of their hearts and
lives.
Our rich children, one more birthday
without them. They forgot what love really is.
Get up, my darling. Today is the day to thank God
for the beautiful years we lived with our
children. We should not be sad or cry for what we
cannot change. Get up, my old lady. Today is a day to celebrate.
...Yes, my old man, I'm going to get up, because I
don't want you alone.
"Not even having all the money in the world
could you match the love of a father or mother. Enjoy them today while they are
here, because the day they are gone, you will have the worst regrets."
Reflection: In short, the text reminds us that we
should value and enjoy our parents while we have them, since their love is irreplaceable,
and their absence will leave an irreplaceable void.
