[ENG/ESP] The Pain of Emigration /Contest #195

avatar
I do not know if it is right for me to post in this community dedicated to women, but, one of the topics they propose touches me closely because it is lacerating my soul, despite everything I do in function of changing this perspective. In addition to the theme, I have decided to publish because reading the community's general guidelines allows us to publish and contribute to enrich the proposed themes and initiatives.

That is why I want to participate in the topic of emigration, its causes, criteria and positive and negative sides. And to see it from my personal experience.

At this moment I live in a country that is giving me life possibilities that I did not have in my country of origin. I have been able to buy things that I always wanted, but, due to the difficult economic conditions in my country, my salary was only enough for some basic needs and for a few days.

There came a time when I had to ask myself several questions:

Can I continue in these conditions?

What will the future of my children be like?

Can I emigrate to help them and miss their most tender moments?

After reflecting, inquiring, asking questions, I decided to leave Cuba.

I confess that it has been a difficult, hopeful, hard and objective process. But, there is something that hurts me to the bone and it is the love for my children that I have not seen for more than a year.

I consider that emigration as a process is as old as the sun because, since man has lived in society, he has always looked for places different from his own if in that new place there were better conditions for development and life would be healthier and better.

In other words, we move for different reasons. In my case I had to leave to provide better economic conditions for my children and hope to work hard to bring them with me. When I left I thought it would be easier and that it would last less than it is lasting.

The emigration has positive sides such as the permanent search for better conditions, economic growth, fulfillment of positive projects, but it has a negative side that directly affects the family and its affections.

In my case I have a pain for the lack of my children, for not being able to breathe their smell, kiss their soul and lull their lives.

It is true that I have been able to help them financially, but, I have missed part of their sweetest moments, the coming out of their first tooth and being able to help with their childhood illnesses.

Hopefully life will give me the chance to be with them as soon as possible and make my joy more beautiful and lasting.

Thank you #ladiesofhive for the opportunity to express my feelings in the community.

No sé si estará bien que publique en esta comunidad dedicada a las mujeres, pero, uno de los temas que proponen me toca de cerca porque está lacerando mi alma, a pesar de todo lo que hago en función de cambiar esta perspectiva. Además del tema, he decidido publicar porque leyendo las generales de la comunidad permiten que publiquemos y contribuyamos a enriquecer los temas e iniciativas propuestas.

Es por ello que quiero participar en el tema de la emigración, sus causas, criterios y lados positivos y negativos. Y verla desde mi experiencia personal.

En estos momentos vivo en un país que me está dando posibilidades de vida que no tenía en mi país de origen. He podido comprar cosas que siempre deseé, pero, debido a las difíciles condiciones económicas de mi país, el salario me alcanzaba para algunas necesidades básicas y por algunos días.

Llegó un momento en el que tuve que plantearme varias interrogantes:

¿Puedo seguir en estas condiciones?

¿Cómo será el futuro de mis niños?

¿Puedo emigrar para ayudarlos y perderme sus momentos más tiernos?

Después de reflexionar, indagar, preguntar, decidí salir de Cuba.

Confieso que ha sido un proceso difícil, esperanzador, duro y objetivo. Pero, hay algo que me duele hasta los huesos y es el amor por mis hijos que hace más de un año que no veo.

Considero que la emigración como proceso es tan antiguo como el sol porque, desde que el hombre vivió en sociedad, siempre buscó lugares diferentes al suyo si en ese nuevo lugar había mejores condiciones de desarrollo y la vida sería más saludable y mejor.

Es decir, que nos movemos por diversas causas. En mi caso tuve que irme para proveer mejores condiciones económicas a mis niños y albergar la esperanza de trabajar duro para poderlos traerlos conmigo. Cuando salí pensé que sería más fácil y que duraría menos de lo que está durando.

La emigración tiene lados positivos como la búsqueda permanente de mejores condiciones, crecimiento económico, cumplimiento de proyectos positivos, pero tiene un lado negativo que afecta directamente a la familia y sus afectos.

En mi caso tengo un dolor por la falta de mis hijos, por no poder respirar su olor, besar su alma y arrullar sus vidas.

Es cierto que he podido ayudarlos económicamente, pero, me he perdido parte de sus momentos más dulces, la salida del primer diente y el poder ayudar con sus enfermedades infantiles.

Ojalá la vida me dé la posibilidad de estar con ellos lo más pronto posible y hacer mi alegría más bella y duradera.

Gracias #ladiesofhive por la oportunidad de expresar mis sentimientos en la comunidad.

Emigration is fine if you can take the family too after finding green pasture. I understand its necessary for a man to leave in search for it. My husband too is also a prove of that. Its is advisable if possible to take the kids along when you have finally settled. Thanks for sharing

You are welcome to participate with us @frannyon and welcome all perspectives, experiences, and opinions.
It is a terrible trade off isn't it. I would deeply miss the presence of my family.
