Seven years of relentless work have led me to this unexpected pause. Now, with a sudden shift in my circumstances, I've had the opportunity to reassess my life. A profound realization has emerged: the importance of a simple, joyful life, shared with the people I love the most. I long for a life filled with genuine happiness, where family bonds are cherished and moments are savoured.
Being with my children has filled my heart with love and gratitude. It's a painful reminder that time is slipping through our fingers. I want to slow down, enjoy these precious moments, and build lasting memories with my growing family.
I'm committed to being a more patient and loving father. I'll make a conscious effort to connect with my children on a deeper level, to listen patiently to their thoughts and feelings. I'll trade yelling for understanding, and replace harsh words with gentle guidance. Together, we'll create a loving and supportive environment where they can grow into a kind, joyful, humble, and God-fearing individuals.
While being unemployed or parado in Spain presented its challenges, it also provided a unique opportunity for reflection and renewal. Yet, as the days turned into weeks, I began to appreciate the unexpected silver lining. It allowed me to slow down, to truly rest and recharge. The most precious gift, however, was the opportunity to spend quality time with my family. The laughter, the shared experiences, and the simple act of being present as a loving father filled my heart with joy.
