Happy Monday my Hive family. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you are all doing fantastic.
I am starting a new daily routine again, since for the last month, but especially the last two weeks my routine was out of wack.
I am finally getting a feeling like I can start a new routine or at least have my routine back. The reason I say that I am starting a new routine is that my routine/life (our family's routine/life) changed last week when Jordan, my baby boy, who is not so baby but a 20-year-old man (but will always be my baby) has moved overseas to continue his soccer dream.
This week was a very, very hard week for all of us and that is why I have not been here because my heart was just too broken and still is, but we can relax now, knowing that Jordan made it safe to El Salvador and that he is doing OK and that he is happy with his choice even though it has been and still is hard for him being away from all of us for the first time and living in a country where the culture is so different, plus his Spanish is not very strong, but he is doing it and we are so proud and so excited for him.
Today is the first day where I feel like I can, not stress or worry so much about Jordan which makes me happy and because he is starting to get his routine in El Salvador, I feel like I can finally start or go back to my routine, which includes more time on Hive, at least I hope so because work is getting very busy right now too, which means more hours at work too.
I've cried so much over the last two weeks and still will break down out of nowhere sometimes, just knowing that when I am home, my boy is not here to talk to me about anything and everything, and give me a hug, go grocery shopping with me or go for a walk with which we did almost every day and now I don't have my walking/hiking partner since we both love the nature walks and being active. We were just very, very close together, and Jordan is very quiet and shy and so really the only person he talks to about everything is me. Since he was a baby, he only wanted his mama. Not dad, not grandma, not grampa or anties, only his mom, even with his close friends he does not open up to. So this is why this transition was super hard on us.
We are so grateful though for the technology so that we can talk daily, a few times a day, and see each other on the phone. Otherwise, it would have been incredibly hard. As a matter of fact, I just finished talking to Jordan, which makes me feel even better.
I love the word or God. It really has helped me so much in my life and this is definitely one of my favorite scriptures.
Tomorrow is going to be a week since Jordan got to El Salvador and he already got into a FAS team and had one training, which makes him feel good because he was feeling sad for the first few days since he didn't have a team and he was worried about not being a part of any team right now and when he can start training so that he can stay in shape.
This is the team he could get in right now, because the team he wanted to get in (FAS Reserva) started their season already and they already have their players and not accepting any players right now, but in September they will have the tryouts where Jordan can try it out.
The last time when we were here in El Salvador in 2019, Jordan was going to get into FAS Reserva, but we had to move back to Canada. Let's just pray and hope that he can get into the team and from there he can get to play Pro soccer, which is his dream.
But that is what is going on in our lives right now, and it's so exciting even though it has been very tough, but we are just so happy that Jordan is doing it. He was brave enough to make that change and to make that move and hopefully soon, we can finally move back to El Salvador and get to watch his games again.
Love @joalvarez
I am a great supporter of @familyprotection which is working very hard to help the families stay together and this project is the most
amazing project that I would suggest for everyone in this hive community to check it out and support it and by doing it we are helping people in need who are trying to keep their kids safe from being taken away (kidnapped) by the Social Services. Here is the link Click here
