Finally the long-awaited day has arrived (Emma's birthday celebration) [Esp/Eng]

in Family & Friends3 days ago
Que alegría estar en esta maravillosa ¨FamilyFriendsCommunity¨:   dado que hace algún tiempo que deseaba preparar un post para compartir con todas las personas que diariamente visitan este genial espacio; honestamente no sé cuál sea la razón de no haber hecho antes una publicación ya que somos una familia que nos encanta pasar tiempo juntos


What a joy to be in this wonderful ¨FamilyFriendsCommunity¨:   since for some time I wanted to prepare a post to share with all the people who visit this great space daily; I honestly don't know why I haven't posted before since we are a family that loves spending time together

Dicen que los ¨abuelos¨ hacemos con nuestros ¨nietos¨ las cosas que no hemos hecho con nuestros propios hijos, y es realmente verdad; soy padre de tres hijos, que por priorizar el trabajo no he estado presente en el crecimiento como me hubiera gustado, si bien mi esposa se encargó de que los chicos nunca notaran mi ausencia, con el correr de los años te das cuenta de todas las cosas hermosas que te has perdido, y que jamás lo podrás recuperar, porque en un abrir y cerrar de ojos los hijos crecen, toman sus propios caminos, y aquellas celebraciones de cumpleaños que no has podido asistir no se compensan viendo un video.


They say that "grandparents" do things with our "grandchildren" that we haven't done with our own children, and it's really true; I am a father of three children, and due to prioritizing work, I have not been present in their growth as I would have liked. Although my wife made sure that the children never noticed my absence, over the years you realize all the beautiful things you have missed, and that you will never be able to get it back, because in the blink of an eye, children grow up, take their own paths, and those birthday celebrations that you have not been able to attend are not compensated by watching a video.

En el año 2013 haciendo un balance de vida me he dado cuenta que el ¨bien¨¨material¨ que tenía no compensaba ni una décima de las emociones perdidas en el crecimiento de mis hijos, fue entonces cuando tome la determinación de cambiar mi vida, en esa época un tanto arriesgado, pero por suerte salió todo bien. Vivir de una manera diferente y trabajar desde casa me dio el tiempo necesario para compartir los últimos años de que mis hijos vivieron en casa antes de que cada uno escogiera su propio camino


In 2013, taking stock of my life, I realized that the "material" assets I had didn't compensate for even a tenth of the emotions lost while my children were growing up. It was then that I decided to change my life. It was a bit risky at the time, but luckily everything turned out well. Living differently and working from home gave me the time I needed to share my children's final years at home before each of them went their separate ways.

Soy de las personas que piensan que la vida te da nuevas oportunidades, solo debes estar atento a las pequeñas cosas que te hacen reaccionar y redirigir tu vida. Como les mencione al principio, los momentos que no he vivido con mis hijos jamás los voy a recuperar, lo que tuvo que pasar no paso, por lo tanto, nunca existieron; lo que si existen es el día a día de mis nietos que están creciendo velozmente y trato de no perder detalle alguno, la mayor de mis nietas ya tiene once años, lo que significa que pronto será señorita y no querrá pasar tiempo con el abuelo, el segundo nieto tiene 10 años, mi otra nieta tiene 8 años, mientras que Emma la más pequeña acaba de cumplir su primer añito y hace pocas semanas hemos hecho la celebración


I'm one of those people who thinks that life gives you new opportunities, you just have to pay attention to the little things that make you react and redirect your life. As I mentioned at the beginning, I will never get back the moments I haven't lived with my children. What had to happen didn't happen, therefore, they never existed; What does exist is the daily life of my grandchildren who are growing up quickly and I try not to miss any detail, my oldest granddaughter is already eleven years old, which means that she will soon be a young lady and will not want to spend time with her grandfather, the second grandson is 10 years old, my other granddaughter is 8 years old, while Emma, the youngest, just turned one and we celebrated a few weeks ago

Este primer añito de Emma ha sido muy divertido, hemos estado acompañando el día a día viendo toda su evolución, festejamos cada día nueve su cumple mes, hasta que finalmente festejamos este nueve de septiembre su primer año de vida. No creo que haga falta mencionar que este año ha pasado volando, y que cada día desde su nacimiento ha sido toda una experiencia, estuvimos atentos para escuchar cuál sería la primera palabra en pronunciar, cada uno de la familia le enseño que dijera algo, en mi caso le enseñaba a diario que pronunciara abuelo, y así el resto de la familia, lo cierto es que su primera palabra fue ¨Kimba¨, el nombre de la mascota que toda la familia nombraba cuando la perrita se acercaba a la bebe (sal de ahí Kimba, aléjate de la BB). No tienen una idea de la felicidad que sentimos cuando Emma pronuncio su primera palabra, y ha sido todo un acontecimiento estar presente en ese momento. A estas cosas me refería al mencionar de las emociones perdidas del crecimiento de mis hijos. Para aquellos que están leyendo y están en camino de ser padres, que esta anécdota te deje una enseñanza, nada compensa las cosas que pierdes del crecimiento de tus hijos, sobre todo lo material. En las cosas sencillas de la vida está la felicidad, y la felicidad no es un estado de ánimo, es más bien una elección. Estas preciosas fotografías las hicimos con nuestra ¨camara¨ :  para que al ver las imágenes podamos recodar esos bellos momentos que pasamos en familia y amigos


This first year of Emma's life has been so much fun. We've been watching her progress day by day. We celebrated her birthday every ninth month until we finally celebrated her first birthday this September 9th. I don't think it's necessary to mention that this year has flown by, and that every day since her birth has been an experience. We were attentive to hear what her first word would be. Each member of the family taught her to say something. In my case, I taught her daily to say "grandpa," and so did the rest of the family. The truth is that her first word was "Kimba," the name of the pet that the whole family would call out when the dog approached the baby (get out of there, Kimba, get away from BB). You have no idea how happy we felt when Emma said her first word, and it was quite an event to be present at that moment. These are the things I was referring to when I mentioned the lost emotions of my children's growth. For those reading this who are on the road to parenthood, let this anecdote teach you a lesson: nothing makes up for the things you miss out on as your children grow up, especially material things. Happiness is found in the simple things in life, and happiness isn't a state of mind; it's more of a choice. We took these beautiful photographs with our camera so that when we look at the images, we can remember those beautiful moments we spent with family and friends.

Happy birthday to Emma and congratulations to you, @jlufer! Raising children is no easy task. I'm glad you were able to enjoy those special moments with your children before they each started their own lives. Working from home is a wonderful opportunity, and it sounds like you're making the most of it by strengthening your bond with your grandchildren. I wish you all the best and hope you continue to reap the rewards of your dedication to your children and grandchildren. Congratulations! 👏

¡Feliz cumpleaños a Emma y enhorabuena a ti, @jlufer! Cuidar de los niños no es tarea fácil. Me alegra que hayas podido disfrutar de esos momentos especiales con tus hijos antes de que cada uno tomara su propio camino. Además, trabajar desde casa es una gran oportunidad que estás aprovechando para estrechar lazos con tus nietos. Te deseo lo mejor en la vida y que puedas disfrutar de los frutos de tu dedicación a tus hijos y nietos. ¡Enhorabuena! 👏

What you describe is something that I think happens to all parents around the world. Often, due to life circumstances such as work, many parents miss out on simple but important things like their children's stages of growth, but they also have a responsibility to give them everything they need to grow up well. A balance is ideal, and in today's society, that balance often does not exist.

Thanks to your wise decision, you were able to enjoy your children before they each went their separate ways, and now you enjoy your grandchildren to the fullest, as I have witnessed through your posts. Emma's first year is so important, and you were there. The decorations are beautiful, and a lot of work and dedication has gone into everything. Your granddaughters enjoy your company too, and I think they will always want to be with their grandfather because you give them so much love, which is more valuable than anything else in the world. Happy birthday to Emma, and thank you. Big hug!

Lo que describes es algo que creo le pasa a todos los padres del mundo. Muchas veces por las cosas de la vida como el trabajo, muchos padres se pierden de las cosas sencillas pero importantes como las etapas de crecimiento de los hijos, pero también esta la responsabilidad de darles todo lo necesario para que crezcan bien. Un equilibrio es lo ideal y en esta sociedad de hoy muchas veces ese equilibrio no existe.

Pudiste disfrutar, gracias a tu sabia decisión, de tus hijos antes de que cada uno hiciera su camino y ahora disfrutas al máximo a tus nietos y he sido testigo de ello mediante tus publicaciones. Este primer añito de Emma es tan importante y estuviste allí. Las decoraciones son preciosas y ha habido mucho trabajo y dedicación en todo. Y tus nietas disfrutan de vos también, y creo que siempre querrán estar con su abuelo, porque les das mucho amor, eso tiene más valor que todo en el mundo. Muy feliz cumpleaños a Emma y gracias a vos. Abrazo grande!

Creo que está en la naturaleza de las personas ser así, nos cuesta mucho ser equilibrados con las cosas que hacemos

sí, por suerte me he dado cuenta a tiempo y cambie mi vida, ahora trabajando desde casa, todo es más sencillo, y estamos disfrutando el día a día de nuestras nietas

Muchas gracias, querida amiga @avdesing por el gran apoyo que siempre me brindas

Que disfrutes de un maravilloso domingo

I think it's in human nature to be like this; it's hard for us to be balanced with the things we do.

Yes, luckily I realized it in time and changed my life. Now I'm working from home, everything is easier, and we're enjoying our granddaughters' daily lives.

Thank you so much, dear friend @avdesing, for the great support you always give me.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Tu nieta con la que comparto comentarios, te adora, de eso no te quepa la menor duda y ahora les estan dando lo mejor que es la calidad de tiempo. Abrazo!

So sweet 💗! !indeed, sometimes life gives us a second opportunity only if we pay attention .Glad you were able to seize it.

Happy birthday to your grand children 🎉

Spending time with grandkids is always great. enjoy th time because it does go quickly.

From the photos,it was indeed an amazing birthday celebration.

Happy birthday to your granddaughter, my friend. It's beautiful to hear that you decided to change your life to be able to spend important time with your children. It sounds like you have a beautiful and loving family, and that's a blessed thing indeed. I have no children or grandchildren, and it's something that I regret, not starting a family. You are very fortunate indeed, amigo. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

That's very true, Grandparents always have more fun with their grandchildren than their own children and the most obvious reason for that is their other commitments like work.
Happy Birthday to your granddaughter. You are enjoying probably one of the best time of your life know, really happy for you.
Stay blessed always.

Hola Luis. Que hermosa decoración la del festejo del cumple de Emma, pasa volando un año. Que bueno que pueden estar presentes los abuelos, debe ser lo más lindo acompañarla en el crecimiento.

Saludos para toda tu familia, que estén bien ❤️
