Relatos de transformación y esperanza




                               -“What...? -I need you to...” said Kate’s mother.
                               -“There's no time to explain. Promise me you'll take
                               care of them.

                               -but...
                               -Kate, please! -Promise me!” said Kate’s mother.
                               -“I...  I  promise  you,  mother”  said  Kate,  worried

                               about what her mom was going to do.


                               It  was  Christmas  Eve  and  it  had  been  snowing  all
                               day. Since Kate was the oldest of the siblings, they
                               had let her go to bed later, she sat with her parents

                               by the fire, while they were drinking hot chocolate,
                               they  exchanged  gifts  (her  younger  siblings  would

                               receive  theirs  in  the  morning);  kate  at  her  young
                               age, felt old. Her mother offered her father a small,
                               thick, old, worn-out book that seemed to please him
                               greatly, and he gave her a gold locket necklace. The

                               locket contained a tiny portrait of the children: Kate,
                               two-year-old  Michael,  and  Emma  when  she  was  a

                               baby.  Finally,  she  went  to  bed,  lying  in  the  dark,
                               warm  and  happy  under  the  blankets,  wondering
                               how  she  would  sleep  better.  After  a  while,  her

                               mother was already waking her up. Her mother left
                               them to look for a better future in  a place, where

                               there were enough emeralds to get out of poverty.
                               After a lot of sacrifice and work inside the mountain
                               she was able to get the biggest emerald in the world

                               for which she was given a lot of money.
