My family

I have three sons and one daughter. My wife and my four children have been living in Chicago for 6 years, so I go to visit them three times a year. Last vacation, however, my family and I decided that they are going to come back to Mexico.

My four children are musicians. They play flamenco, smooth jazz, and Latin music. When I visit them, we play video games, watch movies, have popcorn, and go out together, so we really enjoy those moments.  I am also used to going with them to carry and connect their instruments wherever they go to work. I try to support them in their work.

Last vacation they had a performance around one hour and a half from our house, so we arrived early to the place of the performance. Then we got inside the place with all our instruments, and things as electric cables, connectors, and tripod stands, but when we almost had finished connecting them, my older son told me that we had forgotten a bag with some electrical cables in the car. I went to the car to get it, but when I was trying to open the car’s trunk, I broke the key. I was really worried because I didn’t know if they had brought the spare key. I got back to the theater and asked my children and my wife whether they had brought it. Fortunately, my wife took it before we left the house.

After all, the show was excellent. My wife and I really enjoyed it, so we were really proud of our children when people clapped a lot.

After the show we went to a restaurant. When we were enjoying a delicious meal, my younger son, who is really smart and witty, said, “Dad, your face really looked like  death at the moment when you broke the car key. My family and I laughed out loud.

Despite the fact that we are not living together, we are a really closely knit family.  However, we all feel the need to be back together the way we used to be 6 years ago. For this reason, my family will come back to México soon.
