🌺 ¡Hola! ¡Hola! 🌺
My dear community of mommies and daddies, I greet you hoping that everything is going very well in your families 💕. The school year has ended, and with it comes the celebrations; masses, awarding of medals, the last bell, and the receipt of the diploma as a certificate that they successfully completed their high school life, heading to university are some of the traditions that have become popular among the kids. This year was different due to regulations from the ministry, but a way was found to still enjoy the moment. This year we had the opportunity to accompany my cousin's son (not so little anymore) to his graduation mass. It's an emotional moment because we do nothing without the blessing of the Creator, and especially if one studies at a Catholic school, as is his case, where they prepare week after week throughout the year to fulfill the sacraments that the church sends.


Accompanying them in these moments is as important as family, for the following reasons: We as a family, I have to admit, are not very close; it's not that we don’t recognize each other as family, but each one is involved in their own matters, the adults are already very grown-up and the ones being born are linked to other families, so everyone has their own core. Accompaniment then becomes that implicit phrase of 'we are still family, and we support each other as such'. My cousin was born in Mérida (very far from where she lives now), so her family here is reduced to her son and husband, so how can we not be there in that moment? Therefore, as long as you can do it, as long as you can attend these events, don’t hesitate to do so because it unites us as a family and gives us the opportunity to find out what is happening in their lives.
The mass is an act of faith and gratitude, which is also a way to celebrate and give thanks for a blessed year after so much effort, discipline, and consistency from the graduate as well as from the family, who is always there living by values and principles, besides supporting them in science and knowledge. For us, it was emotional because with him, our support for graduations in the family comes to a close for quite some time. Unfortunately, social networks have shown how families, instead of celebrating their children's achievements, the dreams yet to be fulfilled, and witnessing their transition from being cradled by their mothers to maturity, we see unconscious parents (because I have no other word and I apologize) burying their children for various reasons.
It is the case of a young graduate who, upon leaving the graduation mass, rode on a motorcycle (I do not know if it was his own) and had an accident with tragic consequences. Of course, this event went viral on social media, first causing concern among all the graduates, because that’s how kids are, united, empathetic with their peers, and they identify with each other because it could have been any one of them. On the other hand, there’s a call for awareness among parents and towards parents. We know that we want to give our children the best of ourselves, but to what extent are we really giving them our best? It is well known that at that stage, kids are adventurous, risk-taking, and mischievous, which is why it is the parents who must be responsible, act as adults, and allow the kids to go through their stages without putting them in danger, while gradually teaching them in this transition to adulthood. It is regrettable that many homes, instead of celebrating this great step today, are mourning a child. I leave that as a reflection because each one must live their stage in a harmonious and peaceful way.
The mass we witnessed was beautiful; the priest spoke from the experience of a student, from a pedagogical perspective, as a teacher, and from a human standpoint, offering words of encouragement and congratulations to the parents and family members who support and will support the future professionals of our country, who will be the new generation that guides the nation. The emotional moment was at the end, when my cousin hugged our 'Licho' and we congratulated him as a family. The group photo was beautiful and will immortalize this spiritual moment. Thus, we concluded the day to prepare for his graduation ceremony.Congratulations to everyone! The graduates, the parents, the siblings, friends, teachers, professors, administrators, and all the people who are somehow involved in the formation process of these young individuals.
