This revolving door of human events becomes sometimes an amusing carousel. It is in fact what happens upon each entrance and its respective exit, that life and its lessons are carried out linking and giving form to our human trajectory. The entrances are always welcomes, hopes, investments, challenges, curiosity, new opportunities. The exits are farewells, results, harvests, losses, resignation, rest. Both entail an extensive range of emotions and both need a period of preparation and a period of adjustment. Both imply change, resistance, rebelliousness and fights against inertia.
We cannot remember the day in which we entered the house of our parents for the first time. Of course we all deserve a loving welcome, although it is not always the case. I have the fortune to have a welcome script written by my parents before my birth. On the other hand, few can say that the day they left their parents home was a joyful day marked by happiness and celebration. Certainly for me that was not one of my best days.
Without realizing it, our children come and fill our lives with blessings. Without realizing it children leave our house to follow their dreams, and in spite of that empty nest sensation their blessings remain with us always. So in that moment of goodbye, the least we can do is to pack that last baggage we certainly do not prepare for them, a great and generous blessing not only in fair correspondence, but to make patent that what for us is the end of a cycle, for them is the wonderful entrance to their own self-realization and opportunity of being happy. Each person leading their own carousel.
