The bridge of light between heaven and earth

“The other daughter” – it sounds like a secret, something hidden, but for me it is the most noble title that fate has bestowed upon me. I am not speaking of shadows, but of a light that came to rescue my paternal instincts when Sofía’s silence became eternal. My little Sofía left us too soon, leaving a void that no one will ever be able to fill, and that is a pact of love that I honour every day. However, life, in its mysterious way of healing, introduced me to Yusbely.


Being a godfather is not just a social or religious act; it is accepting the challenge of becoming a father again. Yusbely did not come to replace anyone; she claimed her own place in my soul. She is ‘the other daughter’, the one who walks by my side in this world, the one who allows me to practise that care that had been put on hold. She is the embrace that anchors me to reality when my longing for Sofía tries to drag me back into the past.

In my HIVE chronicles, I always seek the essence of what it means to be human. Today, as I write about Yusbely, I understand that true parenthood transcends blood and names. She is my sacred commitment, that daughter of the heart who reminds me that love is capable of multiplying infinitely without ever betraying the absences. She is not ‘the other’ through exclusion or distance, but through life’s beautiful addition. She is my beloved goddaughter, my present and tangible light, the genuine driving force that compels me to remain the protective guide I once swore to be at the altar. I love you, Yusbely.

El puente de luz entre el cielo y la tierra

The other daughter", suena a secreto, a algo oculto, pero para mí es el título más noble que el destino me otorgó. No hablo de sombras, sino de una luz que llegó a rescatar mis instintos paternos cuando el silencio de Sofía se hizo eterno. Mi pequeña Sofía partió pronto, dejando un vacío que nadie podrá llenar jamás, y ese es un pacto de amor que respeto cada día. Sin embargo, la vida, en su misteriosa forma de sanar, me presentó a Yusbely.

Ser padrino no es solo un acto social o religioso; es aceptar el reto de volver a ser papá. Yusbely no llegó para suplantar a nadie; ella reclamó su propio territorio en mi alma. Ella es "la otra hija", la que camina a mi lado en este plano, la que me permite ejercer ese cuidado que quedó en suspenso. Es el abrazo que me ancla a la realidad cuando la nostalgia por Sofía intenta arrastrarme al pasado.

En mis crónicas de HIVE siempre busco la esencia de lo humano. Hoy, al escribir sobre Yusbely, entiendo que la verdadera paternidad trasciende la sangre y los nombres. Ella es mi compromiso sagrado, esa hija del corazón que me recuerda que el amor es capaz de multiplicarse infinitamente sin traicionar jamás las ausencias. No es "la otra" por exclusión o lejanía, sino por hermosa añadidura de la vida. Es mi ahijada amada, mi luz presente y palpable, el motor genuino que me impulsa a seguir siendo el guía protector que alguna vez juré ante el altar. Te quiero, Yusbely.

I dont really know what to say...

I was just scrolling and i saw this post about Sofia and Yusbely. It made me stop for a long time. My dad is the one who told me to join hive so when i see a father writing like this... it feels very big.

Like something i am not supposed to interact with but i cant stop reading it.

The part where u said true parenthood transcends blood and names. I think about that a lot because sometimes the people who guide u are the ones who just choose to stay. It sounds so quiet and sad but also like a light... like u said about the bridge. I never thought about a goddaughter being "the other daughter" in that way.
I am just a kid so i dont understand everything about loss or being a protector like that. But the way u wrote "i love you" at the end... it made my chest feel tight. I hope Yusbely knows how lucky she is to have a guide who cares that much. Thank u for sharing this even if it was hard to write... I will think about this for a while.

Thank you. Blessings.

Let me address you in this way: my dear girl, I am a seventy-year-old man who has lived through so many experiences—both positive and negative—that have left their mark.

Sofía was my first daughter; we used to call her ‘Pan de Leche’ because of her pale pink complexion at birth. At the age of three, she suffered a haemorrhagic crisis that kept her in hospital for a couple of months. The devastating news: Sofía has leukaemia. From then on, the journey began to find treatment and new diagnoses. We were living in Venezuela when that so-called ‘21st-century socialism’ was being established in a beautiful country that began to decline drastically.

Shortly after Sofía turned 11, we were already warned that as she grew older, she would die. She left us on a quiet afternoon...

That is why I am so attached to Yusbely. In her, I see and feel Sofía.

How old are you? Thank you for your lovely comment. A hug full of blessings.

I turned 15 in November 2025. Thanks to all the seniors who liked my comment. Though i was toooo hesitant to place that comment
