ícone You will remember...

        When the hair that frames your face turns to snow…

        When days turn cold due to the icy solitude standing by your side…

        When your routine turns to continuous longing, you will remember…

        You will remember the warm afternoons taking the children for a walk among happy laughter, ice-cream droppings and popcorn spread all over the car.

        You will remember the boys playing, using the hose in the garden to soak each other, instead of watering the plants.

        You will remember you voice insisting in less mess, saving water, electricity…

        You will remember small hands touching your ears while smaller eyes closed, surrendering to sleep.

        You will remember the teddy bear, wide-eyed, left in the backseat of your car, keeping company in your business trips, in your professional visits.

        The teddy bear sitting there, always ready, waiting the return of its owner by the end of the day.

        You will remember the voices asking: Father, will you lift me up? I can´t see a thing from here, I’m too small.

        Will you carry me? I’m so tired.

        Mum, do you love me?

        You will recall the afternoon snacks, the unexpected visits bearing flowers and gifts; the surprise birthday parties; de letters arriving with the scent of I remember you; the trips with friends; the loves, the caresses, the tears of emotion and joy.

        You will remember…

        Everything shall pass in the kaleidoscope of memories, bringing tenderness and nostalgia to your heart.

        Think about this today and enjoy to the most the fare of affection, of presence, of joy.

        Keep a youthful countenance, even if time insists on placing silver threads in your hair and drawing arabesques on your face.

        Keep a spontaneous and clear smile, even when your soul is wearing mourner’s black.

        Memorize the happy moments and file everything in the most privileged corner of your mind.

        Do not forget a single detail: the day full of light or the persistent rain; the colorful clothes, the cap blown by the wind; the laughter, the scraps, holding children close; having them fall asleep in your arms, after hours running and playing in the park; the smell of the baby, the scent of shampoo, the hair brushed or gone wild, worn over the shoulders.

        Watch everything. Record everything. Someday, when loneliness sits next to you, those details, those great little things will keep you company.

        You will take them, one by one, from the trove of memory and use them to pass the time , to keep being as happy as you are today.

        And maybe you do not even know how happy you are.

        By preparing the happiness of tomorrow, you will end up discovering the joy of today.

        Think about it… and act right now.
