Their destiny

"The circle of life moves us all, and even when we are alone, we have to look for it, until we find that great gift of an endless cycle".
This little story, useless for writers to sell books, and to soap operas to gain audience, started on a very cold July morning of 1976, when a pair of young people's illusions decided to create their own circle of life.
On May 15Th, 1951, he was born as the third child of a traditional family. Six years later, on January 19Th, was her turn to have her first world's sight.
He was a traveller who enjoyed every second of his life. She was a princess locked up in a tower.
Twenty-some years later, after her many girlfriends, and her rejection to get married to a doctor, almost by chance...they married to each other. In the meantime, she gave up her medicine studies and he got his accountant's degree.
The first son arrived, with a pair of crooked legs and the freshness of April afternoons. Then, the daughter, with the hurry of those who desperately seek for happiness. Finally, the little boy, as a fresh air breeze, with golden threads crowning his prince's head.
The children grew up without noticing, started school, had their first communion, and were outstanding students in their classes.
One unexpected day, the twenty-one-year-old daughter got married, and the first grandson arrived with a pair of changing little eyes, but overflowed of love.
When time went by, the grandson also grew up, and started school.
Today, almost 31 years later, they can look back an witness the wonderful life they have been living since that day in which they dared to stand up in front of the priest and said: "I DO".
Their house holds now three empty beds, but their home is still intact. Their children make them prouder every day, and never forget checking out if they are OK. The two sons are finally finding their way in life (working in Usuahia at the moment), and the little one is even thinking about starting his own family soon.
They recognize their life as a roller coaster, full of good moments, but also stained in occasions with bad ones. What's more, they have the satisfaction of realizing that they have supported each other's self-development, sometimes being a shoulder to lean on, and sometimes risking everything to find out that everything has been done for the sake of love.
In sickness and in health, for better or worse, they know that they have built up a very special family, which has strong ties and who can count on each other whenever needed. That's why they can sit back, and feel the pleasure of saying that they have done it without any other help than themselves.
