My Favorite Memories in a Photograph/LOH Contest 231

Hello my beautiful people, especially the beloved and empowered Ladies of Hive, today I'm sharing my entry in community contest 231, hosted by my friend @marivic10. I'm inviting my friend @giocondina to participate, and I'm also inviting all the ladies of this community to join in. The question I chose to answer is the following:

The photograph I show in this post is a relic I treasure in my heart. The boy next to me is my nephew Ángel Gabriel, who passed away eleven years ago. Those were very difficult times for the family. We were able to enjoy him to the fullest because we knew he would leave us at any moment and depart from this earthly plane. Every time we met with him, we showered him with love and accommodated his requests. This time, he asked me to take him to a shopping center near home where he wanted to eat some delicious ice cream. He always carried his teddy bear, his companion. While I waited for the ice cream order, my sister took the photograph and I have kept it ever since. He passed away at age five, suffering from a heart condition with a poor prognosis. We never prepared ourselves to face death, and eleven years have passed, and we always remember his memories, anecdotes, and pranks with great affection.

We had a great time that day. I was talking to him. He was very talkative. He told me he loved chips and that he had lots of toys. And that he loved his teddy bear. I laughed out loud with him, and he gave me lots of kisses. And I remember him asking me while we were talking: "Aunt, please give me a ride in your car." I humored him. We went for walks after leaving the mall, and I usually took him around the neighborhood. I always told him my car doesn't have air conditioning, and he would say, "It doesn't matter, Aunt, I want to go for a ride with you." He was happy because we made him happy and we pleased him.

For all those experiences with him, which I enjoyed to the fullest and have never been erased from my memory, my memory remains intact. I remember him very often. Despite his short life, he left us with beautiful memories captured in many photographs, and this is one of them I'm showing you.

Hola mi gente bonita especialmente a las queridas y empoderadas Damas de Hive, hoy les dejo mi participación en el concurso comunitario 231, el cual esta a cargo de la amiga @marivic10, hago la invitación a la amiga @giocondina para que participe e igualmente todas las damas de esta comunidad se animen a participar. La pregunta que escogi para desarrollar es la siguiente:

La fotografía que muestro en la publicación es una reliquia la atesoro en mi corazón. Ese niño que aparece a mi lado es mi sobrino Ángel Gabriel fallecido hace once años. Fueron momentos muy duros para la familia. Pudimos disfrutarlo al máximo porque sabiamos que de un momento a otro nos dejaba y se iba de este plano terrenal. Cada vez que nos reuniamos con él lo llenabamos de mucho amor y complaciamos sus peticiones. En esta oportunidad me pidio que lo llevara a un centro comercial cerca de casa quería comer un delicioso helado. Siempre cargaba su osito de peluche era su compañero. Mientras esperaba el pedido del helado mi hermana tomó la fotografía y desde ese momento la conservo. El fallecio a los cinco años padecía de una enfermedad cardíaca de mal pronóstico. Nunca nos preparamos para enfrentar la muerte ya han pasado once años y sus recuerdos, anécdotas y travesuras siempre la recordamos con mucho amor.

Ese día la pasamos genial estuve conversando con él, era muy conversador, me decía que le encantaba las papas fritas, que tenía muchos juguetes. Y que amaba a su osito de peluche. Rei a carcajadas con el me dió muchos besitos. Y recuerdo que me pedía mientras conversabamos: "tia dame una vueltica en tu carro por favor". Lo complaci paseamos despues de abandonar el centro comercial, y generalmente lo paseaba por la urbanización. Siempre le hacia la salvedad mi auto no tiene aire acondicionado y el me decia no importa tía quiero pasear contigo. Fue feliz porque hicimos que viviera feliz y lo complaciamos.

Por todas esas vivencias al lado de él que las disfrute al máximo y nunca se han borrado de mi memoria mi recuerdo sigue intacto con muchísima frecuencia lo recuerdo. A pesar de vivir un tiempo muy corto nos dejo bonitos recuerdos y plasmados en muchas fotografías y una de esta es la que les muestro.
