Recuerdos rotos, pero siempre se recordaran.....Esp-Eng

Parece mentira que de cosas que otros veran como simples, nos dan ideas para escribir sobre ellos, solo hay que esperar llegar el momento y todo fluira.

Hace unos dias en la casa, mi hijo jugando con el perro, le lanza uno de sus juguetes para que luego lo busque, pero no se como paso, pero si esciche algo caer y fui a ver.

Se habian caido dos figuras de ceramicas, que tenian muchos años conmigo, uno mas que otro, de momento me dio como rabia, pero luego me acorde de algo que dice mi mama: Prefiero que algo se rompa, pero que no se pierda, porque no caminan, si se rompe quiero ver los pedazos.

No bote las figuras de momento, las recogi y coloque donde estaban, porque dije tal vez las pegue, era algo que creo muchos haciamos antes, que cuando se rompia un adorno, corriamos a buscar la pega blanca para pegarlos, esperar y quedaban como nuevo. Pero se veian las marcas.

Fue lo que pense de estos pero dije: ya cumplieron su tiempo tambien, el perrito creo tendria como mas de 40 años, era de mi abuelita, que le gustaban mucho los adornos de ceramica, en su peinadora habia, en aquellos muebles de la sala que llamabamos rinconera, full de muñequitos. Aun quedan poquitos de esos recuerdos de mi abuela, pero no fue mi intencion que se rompiera.

El otro recuerdito era un muñequito de graduacion, de los cuales eran dos, es cuando me doy cuenta que falta uno la pareja, mas no recuerdo cuando se rompio.

Este si lo compre yo en una tienda que vendia ceramicas muy bonitas, en verdad no se porque los compre, seria porque me gustaron, porque para obsequiar, debia comprar muchos, pero solo fueron esos dos, o es que habian dos.

La ceramica del perrito se que seria mas facil de pegar con la pega blanca porque el material con el que estaba hecho era como mas seco, poroso, pero el otro no es como le decia ceramica china, muy lisa y la pega no lo iba a pegar.

Tambien he ido aprendiendo, que lo que ya no funciona, se rompe, es mejor entonces botarlos, para asi quizas comprar otros, que no se cuando sera, si es necesario lo comprare otra figura y sino, otra cosa que sea tal vez mas practico y util, ahorita debemos ser asi comprar cosas practicas.

Pero llevare en mi mente siempre esos recuerdos.

It’s hard to believe that things others might see as simple can give us ideas to write about; you just have to wait for the right moment, and everything will flow.

A few days ago at home, my son was playing with the dog. He threw one of his toys for the dog to fetch, but I don’t know how it happened—I heard something fall and went to check.

Two ceramic figurines had fallen over—they’d been with me for many years, one longer than the other. At first, I felt a bit angry, but then I remembered something my mom says: “I’d rather something break than get lost, because they don’t walk away. If it breaks, I want to see the pieces.”

I didn’t throw the figurines away right away; I picked them up and put them back where they were, because I thought maybe I could glue them back together. It was something I think many of us used to do: when an ornament broke, we’d run to get some white glue to stick them back together, wait, and they’d look as good as new. But you could still see the marks.

That’s what I thought about these, but I said: they’ve served their time too. I think the little dog is over 40 years old; it belonged to my grandmother, who really loved ceramic ornaments. Her dressing table was full of little figurines, as were those living room cabinets we called “corner cabinets.” There are still a few of those mementos from my grandmother left, but it wasn’t my intention for it to break.

The other little souvenir was a graduation figurine; there were two of them. That’s when I realized the other one was missing, but I don’t remember when it broke.

I bought this one at a store that sold very pretty ceramics. I really don’t know why I bought them—maybe because I liked them, or because I needed to buy many to give as gifts, but I only bought those two, or maybe there were just two.

I know the little dog figurine would be easier to glue with white glue because the material it was made of was kind of dry and porous, but the other one—what they call Chinese porcelain—is very smooth, and the glue just wouldn’t stick to it.

I’ve also been learning that if something no longer works or breaks, it’s better to just throw it away, so that maybe I can buy something else. I don’t know when that will be—if necessary, I’ll buy another figurine, and if not, something else that might be more practical and useful. Right now, we have to be like that and buy practical things.

But I’ll always keep those memories in my heart.
