This might be one of my
favourite photos …. My mum with my little
daughter, I call them two hearts connected by an
inmense love.
I took the
photo when my baby was born in the Spring of 2011, at the Principe de
Asturias Hospital. The moment, I saw this litlle angel, I
felt that I was the happiest person in the world. Fortunately for us,
my baby didn't have any problems during the pregnancy or the birth.
However, the actual birth took quite a long time.
That day, I
was doubly happy, since my mother could share this event with my
Spanish family and me. I remember that some months before the birth,
I had been so worried, because my mum needed a visa to come to Spain,
and this process is and was so hard, but finally, she could be with
us.
When I
see this photo, I recall how the nurse brought my baby after
cleaning her and all my Spanish family began to take photos of
Laura, my baby who was like a famous pop star. Then my mum asked me
if she could hold the baby, and obviously I said she could. The
moment my mum saw my baby's face, her own face change completely. I
had never seen my mother with that face, my mum gave me a sweet
cuddle and she couldn't avoid smiling. Maybe in this moment I loved
her more (if
it is posible), so I understood what she
had done for me throughout her life; then I thought I was a lucky
person because I had an amazing mother and now I had a fantastic
daughter!
My mum is
the most special person that I've ever known for many reasons. The
first one, she always has positive things to say to people, even if
these people are impolite. I can hardly remember a time when she was
annoyed or angry with other people. Normally, she is a
even-tempered. In fact her smile is her best feature. At the same
time, she has an enormous ability to make new friends.
Another
reason why I admire her is that she has never stopped working. She
is a teacher and although she is retired, she always wants to teach
someone. Nowadays, she is a volunteer in a state school in La Paz
city. She loves working with children with learning difficulties.
Sometimes, I think that she has this kind of energy because she gives
energy to and takes positive energy from these children.
For these
reasons I keep this photo in a special place in my home, so when I
look at it I remember that awesome time that I had with them.
