Excellent week for everyone, a week full of many individual and group challenges to keep walking, finding our being, more and more connected with wellness.
A dynamic of @ericvancewalton that has been excellent for me to remember times, sensations of those moments lived and now are recorded in each of the posts that we share thanks to this initiative on Mondays. Thank you, thank you very much.
This week is difficult but not impossible to choose a memory although there are really many, after they decide to leave this plane moments and more moments begin to arrive, I'm still trying to choose it.
My mother changed plane in June 2024, that's why I consider that a favorite memory is very little. Now comes to my mind her academic situation, she studied until 4th grade of elementary school, however her handwriting and ability to remember dates she learned at that time was wonderful.
She was in charge of the family formed with my father since she was 16 years old, she became a mother at the age of 18, she always stood out for being committed in what she did as a housewife, also what she allowed herself to do to increase her economy, she did not stay only with what my father contributed weekly for the market and other things.
She wove what she wore in thread, the espadrilles, these are llaneros shoes as they say, now you can get them in different styles, like leather. He raised chickens for sale, he also raised pigs...he had his clients and moved in these business things. He also made food to sell to some workers who had no one to make them meals to take to work. She was always, always very dynamic in this business of receiving money.
In front of the house where we lived they built a school for women's specialties, these schools were designed to educate women in sewing, cooking, floristry, and hairdressing. My mother was already close to 60 years old and we were in our lives, so it was just her and my dad.
She enrolled in the course of cutting and sewing, for me it was impressive the commitment acquired in this course, she displaced him to do her homework, once she came home, one of many weekends that as a daughter I liked to be with them, I remember that she was learning to mark patterns of pieces that later she would pass to the fabrics, she sat in a space of the corridor on the floor because she said that there she could stretch the paper better and on the table she could not place there and mark.
It reminded me of when we used to do our homework and we were always trying to find a comfortable place to do our homework.
Seeing her there very concentrated with her rulers, colored pencils, I remember it was blue/red bicolor, to mark what was going to be the hem, hem, neck and those things to have the pattern and take it to the fabric.
Then look at it on the sewing machine to take her pattern already cut on the fabric to create her piece. Then, happy when she had finished her creation. She excelled in her school, then she moved on to the cooking part, she learned a lot, the ham breads she made were exquisite, and finally she moved on to the florist's course. She was my mother in one of her many facets.
