My Heroes =)


There was a thunderstorm earlier...and i didn't make it through the rain, so i came home soaking wet. I visited Magali and we both started on my doll pattern. It came out pretty nicely done, although it wasn't finished. (We didn't have any stuffing). When i got home, i somehow managed to unscrew one side of my glasses. My mom and dad were at the table discussing some home projects while i was looking for a small screwdriver. I guess i made too much noise. They both asked me what i was doing and i told them about my glasses. My dad asked to see them, while my mom and i kept looking for the tool. I managed to find it hiding between some papers and gave it to my dad. Sadly, he lost the tiny screw that was already placed on the metal corner, but all of a sudden i saw my mom and dad looking for it on the floor. Both of them on hands and knees looking for an impossible tiny screw that was too small to see for old, tired eyes. I was no help of course, but i tried. But as they were searching, It made me realize noticed how much they truly love me. Its not that i didn't know they do, its just hard to see those moments in my house. They didn't argue or fight with one another, they didn't criticize each other or even blame themselves. They were so busy focused working together on fixing something so dumb as my glasses to even notice their differences like they usually do. The funny part was that they were fixing them on the floor, under the table with a flashlight at hand. My sister was wondering why they didn't just use the table under the kitchen light, but they both ignored her. But i was happy to see them like this. When my dad finished fixing them, he gave them back to me. I was very pleased for both of them so i each gave them a kiss and a thank you. Secretly in my mind also that no matter how much they've gone through and the years have passed by, they still manage to have a somewhat sustainable relationship. I'm very proud of both of them.
