A meaningful picture...

 

Ah, this picture.

It was christmas 2 years ago when we took this photograph. And If you are wondering why I’m wearing a Santa Claus hat… Well, it’s kind of a long story. I just gonna say that my grandfather is too old for that job and I’m his replacement.

Since my sister turned 7, she never stops drawing. My parents love her so much, but they are not too attentive, they would never have discovered that she liked to draw. So I saved some money to buy a basic graphic tablet for my sister and slowly try to convince her to use it. She became scarily good at it at the point that it seemed that she had been using it all her life.

Finally my parents start to apreciatte my sister’s art, and they decide that she deserved a better equipment...

So, when christmas came, we convinced my sister that the gift under the christmas tree was for her little aunt (she is just 1 year younger than her). When I took the gift, she was so excited to see us little aunt reaction, but I did not say her name, instead I say “…And this gift is for Josefa!”. She was confused when I put the gift in her hands and when she finally open it, she started to cry.

It wasn’t about the gift or the money, it was about to recognizing my sister’s talent and passion, the thing that she really likes, the whole family did! My parents and I made the effort to give her a little bit more of life and that, at least for me, is what families are supposed to be.

I choose this picture over the others because I think that lovely stories give us the strength and hope to be us  those who work to make the world better. 

Just remember: Is not a happy story until the end!
