For this reason I would like to share with you today some of my thoughts and feelings about one of my symbols. I recently received an invitation to go to a social family gathering which, all of us who assisted, had a last name in common.
Español: Apellidos – Símbolos Que Nos Identifican
In the reunion, many gathered from other cities and countries and included fathers, grandfathers, brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins, sons, daughters, grandchildren, in-laws, son and daughter in-laws which, some had not seen each other in over 25 years.
Upon arrival, I saw many faces of true happiness, much laughter, many memories, kisses, hugs, and joy in recognizing the son of.., the niece of… and many pictures of four generations present with much jubilation and emotion.
My reflexion is that from my memories of childhood, I always saw and received from my parents, grandparents, uncles, cousins many expressions of love. A smile, a shower of generosity to give of oneself always existed. Problems and circumstances exist in this family with the surname Urrea, as in any other family in this world.
What I gained from this family reunion of the Urrea Cousins is that the differences, distance or time does not limit me to share joy, dance, happiness and much love. I am very proud to be a part of the family URREA.
