My entry Ladies of Hive Community Contest #299 Edition (ENG - ESP)

For some time now I havent been able to string together the words for a publication; Living for the Cuban people has become a valley of darkness. There are many setbacks and sometimes we are overcome by sadness or the rush to achieve the unattainable, but, despite everything, I feel blessed by life: yes, I have friends of those that I consider sisters.

​I couldn't help but participate in this proposal and, in my own way, try to dispel the belief that female friendships are rare to find or difficult to maintain. For me, friendship has no sex, because I also have good male friends, the kind who don't think twice about lending a hand; @roswelborges is one of those and I appreciate it very much.

​Miriam and Yoya... I made the latter my Dylan's godmother and I jokingly tell her how much she still has to bear with me and my crazy things. She is my family, just like Miriam. They are so different, but they are one of those magical people that, when they appear, the sun comes out.

On the other hand, thanks to the Sueño Azul group I have met other mothers who, like me, share the joys and fears of having an autistic child. Perhaps because of that understanding when sharing a feeling that sometimes other people cannot understand, or for the simple fact that when we get together to share we feel so comfortable, so without pressure because we know that, no matter how the children behave, there will be no critical or critical glances. strangeness; so much so that we have created new spaces outside the project to meet and share.

I don't know if I have answered both suggestions. Right now so many anecdotes come to mind, like the many times that without warning I went to Miriam's house just because I needed to talk, cry and, above all, enjoy that calm that she has always offered me; or of the many others in which I have asked Yoya to stay with my children toto be able to carry out some activity to which I was invited as a writer. She also accompanied me when my father died; Thanks to her I was able to cope with the pain and continue inventing smiles for my children.

​Anyway, as I said, life has blessed me by surrounding me with those good souls and always, always, no matter how much the earth shakes, I know that I can count on them and they can count on me.

​Thank you for this opportunity; I hope that, regardless of the context, life also blesses them with people like they are to me.

Hugs.



​Hace algún tiempo no logro hilvanar las palabras para una publicación; el vivir para el pueblo cubano se ha convertido en un valle de tinieblas. Son muchos los tropiezos y a veces nos vence la tristeza o la prisa por alcanzar lo inalcanzable, pero, a pesar de todo, me siento bendecida por la vida: sí, tengo amigas de esas que considero hermanas.

​No podía dejar de participar en esta propuesta y, un poco a mi modo, intentar deshacer esa creencia de que las amistades femeninas son raras de hallar o difíciles de mantener. Para mí la amistad no tiene sexo, porque también tengo buenos amigos hombres, de esos que no lo piensan dos veces para echar una mano; @roswelborges es de esos y se lo agradezco mucho.

​Miriam y Yoya... A esta última la convertí en la madrina de mi Dylan y en broma le digo lo mucho que le queda por cargar conmigo y mis locuras. Ella es mi familia, igual que Miriam. Son tan diferentes, pero son de esas personas mágicas que, cuando aparecen, sale el sol.

​Por otra parte, gracias al grupo Sueño Azul he conocido a otras madres que, como yo, compartimos las alegrías y temores de tener un hijo autista. Tal vez por ese comprender al compartir un sentir que a veces otras personas no logran entender, o por el simple hecho de que cuando nos reunimos para compartir nos sentimos tan a gusto, tan sin presiones porque sabemos que, sin importar cómo se comporten los niños, no habrá miradas de crítica o extrañeza; tanto así que hemos creado nuevos espacios fuera del proyecto para encontrarnos y compartir.

​No sé si he contestado ambas sugerencias. Ahora mismo me vienen tantas anécdotas, como las muchas veces que sin avisar me iba hasta casa de Miriam solo porque necesitaba hablar, llorar y, sobre todo, disfrutar de esa calma que ella siempre me ha ofrecido; o de las muchas otras en que le he pedido a Yoya que se quede con mis niños para poder realizar alguna actividad a la que fui invitada como escritora. Ella también me acompañó cuando murió mi papá; gracias a ella pude sobrellevar el dolor y seguir inventandou sonrisas parar ⁷mis hijos.

​En fin, como les decía, la vida me ha bendecido al rodearme de esas almas buenas y siempre, siempre, sin importar cuánto tiemble la tierra, sé que puedo contar con ellas y ellas conmigo.

​Gracias por esta oportunidad; espero que, sin importar el contexto, la vida también las bendiga con personas como lo son ellas para mí.

​Abrazos.
