Love is all we need...

Since I came to the US my holidays have been all different. My first Christmas in the US, I got stuck in a train at midnight on my way to celebrate with a relative in Massachusetts. There were times when I spent with close friends, or just in a random party that I got invited to.  Since I met my husband who also has no family in the US, our celebration has been quite different every year, but we always say that while we have one another, we have it all.  My Christmas has never been the same without my family, but I’m so happy to have a soul mate to celebrate with. 

My grandfather has been very sick the past weeks. He suffered a pre-infarction and was at intensive care in a hospital in Bolivia (where my family lives).  Thanks god, he is much better now and recovering well.  There were days that I thought I was never going to see him again. He is such an amazing man who has always thought me that no matter where you come from you have to fight for what you want in life. He has taught me to be strong and that nothing worthy achieving in life comes from easy. I am so proud of him and even though I don’t see him very often, he is always in my heart and prayers.  So having my granpa alive and having the chance to see him again is the best gift I can get this Christmas.

This year, my brother-in-law came to visit from Colombia, so we are so happy to have a family member to share with. We are going to be touristing in New York City which is always so much fun.

I hope you have a great time with your family, friends or whoever you have close by.  There is always someone to share with. Remember that if we have what we love we have it all!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Desde que llegué a Estados Unidos, mis navidades han sido muy diferentes. Mi primera Navidad en Estados Unidos., me quedé barada en un tren a medianoche en mi camino a celebrar con un familiar en Massachusetts. Hubo ocasiones que la pasé con amigos cercanos, o simplemente en una fiesta que me invitaban. Desde que conocí a mi esposo, que al igual que yo, no tiene familiares en Estados Unidos., nuestras celebraciones han sido muy diferentes todos los años, pero siempre decimos que mientras nos tengamos el uno al otro, lo tenemos todo. Mis Navidades nunca han sido lo mismo sin mi familia, pero estoy muy feliz de haber encontrado a mi alma gemela para compartir los buenos y malos momentos de la vida.

Mi abuelo ha estado muy enfermo las últimas semanas. Sufrió un pre-infarto y estaba en cuidados intensivos en un hospital de Bolivia (donde vive mi familia). Gracias a Dios, él está mucho mejor ahora y recuperándose muy bien. Había días en que pensé que nunca iba a volver a verlo. Él es un hombre admirable que siempre me ha enseñado que no importa de dónde vengas tienes que luchar por lo que quieres en la vida. Él me ha enseñado a ser fuerte y que nada que valga la pena viene fácil. Estoy muy orgullosa de él y, aunque no lo veo muy a menudo, él está siempre en mi corazón y oraciones. Así que tener a mi abuelo con vida y la oportunidad de verlo de nuevo es el mejor regalo que puedo tener esta Navidad.

Este año, mi cuñado vino a visitar desde Colombia, por lo que estamos muy contentos de tener un familiar para compartir. Vamos a estar haciendo turismo en la ciudad de Nueva York, lo cual se vuelve muy divertido.

Espero que pasen unas felices fiestas con sus familias, amigos o con quien tengan cerca. Siempre hay alguien con quién compartir en la vida. Recuerden que si tenemos lo que amamos lo tenemos todo!

Feliz Navidad a tod@s ustedes!
