Creo que una de las mayores tristezas de la vida es que a menudo no comprendemos del todo a nuestras madres hasta que nosotros mismos empezamos a envejecer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De ni\u00f1os, vemos lo que nos dan.
De adultos, empezamos a ver el precio que les cost\u00f3 darlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La maternidad es extra\u00f1a en ese sentido. Gran parte de su labor es invisible mientras se desarrolla. Las comidas aparecen. La ropa se dobla. Las preocupaciones se sobrellevan en silencio. Alguien permanece despierto hasta que el ni\u00f1o llega a casa sano y salvo. Alguien reza en otra habitaci\u00f3n mientras el resto de la casa duerme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Y los ni\u00f1os rara vez se dan cuenta del peso de esas cosas hasta a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He llegado a creer que las madres pasan gran parte de su vida sacrificando partes de s\u00ed mismas para que sus hijos se sientan seguros. Sue\u00f1o. Tiempo. Tranquilidad. Sue\u00f1os. Preocupaciones. Energ\u00eda. Sus cuerpos. Su paz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No perfectamente.
Pero fielmente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mi madre rezaba el rosario constantemente. Amaba profundamente a sus hijos. Tras el fallecimiento de mi padre, se volvi\u00f3 m\u00e1s callada y apacible en muchos sentidos. La p\u00e9rdida la transform\u00f3. Le ense\u00f1\u00f3 lo fr\u00e1gil que es el tiempo y el deseo de tener cerca a sus seres queridos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahora que soy mayor, la entiendo de otra manera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comprendo la preocupaci\u00f3n.
La espera despierta.
La resistencia silenciosa.
Los sacrificios que los ni\u00f1os no llegan a comprender del todo mientras crecen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahora tambi\u00e9n entiendo otra cosa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los padres suelen creer que fracasaron porque no pudieron darles todo a sus hijos. Mientras tanto, sus hijos finalmente se dan cuenta de que siempre recibieron algo mucho mayor:
amor, estabilidad, sacrificio, oraci\u00f3n y presencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuanto mayor me hago, m\u00e1s me doy cuenta de que los hogares mismos pueden guardar huellas de la maternidad. Ciertos aromas. Ciertas habitaciones. Ciertas costumbres. Un jard\u00edn. Una silla favorita. La sensaci\u00f3n de seguridad ligada a una persona que dedic\u00f3 a\u00f1os a mantener unida a una familia en silencio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tras el fallecimiento de una madre, se instala un vac\u00edo en el hogar. Sin embargo, de alguna manera, su amor permanece all\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quiz\u00e1s el duelo en s\u00ed mismo sea un intento de preservar la belleza de alguien cuyo amor alguna vez se sinti\u00f3 tan constante que lo confundimos con la vida cotidiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las madres no son perfectas. Son seres humanos que cargan con sus responsabilidades mientras intentan darles lo mejor a sus hijos. Y creo que muchos de nosotros solo empezamos a comprenderlo de verdad cuando envejecemos y empezamos a entender el sacrificio desde dentro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoy, simplemente estoy agradecido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agradezco a las madres que se quedaron despiertas preocupadas.
Para las madres que oraron en silencio.
Para las madres que siguieron adelante a pesar del cansancio.
Para las madres que dieron m\u00e1s de s\u00ed mismas de lo que nadie jam\u00e1s supo del todo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Y especialmente para las madres que amaron con tanta fidelidad que sus hijos solo m\u00e1s tarde se dieron cuenta de cu\u00e1nto de la vida hab\u00eda descansado silenciosamente en sus manos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
