Hello to all my dear coffee friends who are always attentive to each and every one of the incredible publications in this beautiful Community.
I want to express the happiness that I felt just this Friday, February 14th (Valentine's Day) when I made a beautiful toast with my mother and siblings.
I was at my mother's house in Valencia/Carabobo State taking care of her, since she suffered a very hard fall and had a hip fracture, suddenly the doorbell rang and it was one of my brothers.
She was very happy, she has been in bed for almost a month and is a little dejected, sad and tired of being in that state.
One of my brothers, who is very nice, started to joke with her and said: “Mommy, today is Valentine's Day, we have to toast, do you have a bottle of whisky somewhere", she answered with a worried face: ‘"Son, I can't drink alcohol, I have a treatment with antibiotics and if I drink whisky the effect will be cut and the doctor will scold me’.
We all started to laugh and we clarified that it was my brother's joke, we know the medicine treatment he has to comply with.
I immediately took the floor and said: but we can toast with a delicious coffee brothers, what do you think Mother? She with a big smile on her face told me: “of course, dear daughter, with coffee if I can”. We all laughed again and I retired for a moment from the room to the kitchen to assemble the greca.
I went back to the room and we continued talking with our mother, we talked about funny things from the past to make her laugh and cheer her up, the truth is not easy to be so many days in a clinical bed in one position.
When I smelled the delicious aroma of coffee, everyone shouted, “Sister, coffee is ready". I ran to the kitchen, turned off the stove and poured the cups of black coffee to toast with my brothers and my mom.
Arriving in the room with the coffee mugs, we each grabbed one and toasted enthusiastically at my mother's bedside.
Cheers, for the speedy recovery of our mother,” exclaimed my older brother, ‘cheers,’ said the rest of us.
Unbelievable how that toast with that delicious coffee cheered up my mom completely, we drank the coffee around the bed, happy and content.
It is the best toast we have made in these difficult days for all of us.
My mother was happy and contented smiling with her cup of coffee in her hand. We had a nice time, then my brothers left and I stayed commenting with my mother about the good time we enjoyed with that exquisite cup of coffee.
I hope to be able to continue enjoying my mother for a long time to continue toasting every day with those delicious coffees.
So much for another of my small but significant stories with my great friend “THE CAFË”, which is always present in our lives making it more pleasant.
Thanks for coming this far, greetings!.
