Blossoming adolescence, it is a privilege for me to accompany him. 💗💗






There is a joy that cannot be hidden when I spend time with my eldest nephew, that mixture of tenderness and amazement that overwhelms me when I see him gradually transforming into a teenager. He is no longer the child who used to run after me with endless questions and spontaneous hugs. Now he walks more slowly, with his own ideas, with silences that say as much as his words.
But the most important thing, and what makes me very happy, is that he is still himself. With that sparkle in his eyes when we talk about music, soccer, what he dreams of doing when he grows up. I love listening to him, discovering his new interests, his more elaborate jokes, his gestures that are no longer so childish. Sharing with him is like watching a beautiful sunset, a smooth, luminous transition that heralds something new without erasing what was.
Every outing together, every conversation, every moment when he asks me for advice or simply accompanies me in silence, becomes a treasure. I am thrilled to witness his growth, his first important decisions, his doubts and certainties. I am honored that he trusts me, that he still seeks me out, that he allows me to be close to him during this delicate and powerful stage.
Being his aunt at this time is a privilege. Because not only do I see him grow, I also grow with him. I learn to let go, to listen more, to celebrate his achievements without invading his space. And in the midst of it all, I realize that adolescence is not only change, it is also opportunity. An opportunity to continue building together a relationship that evolves but never loses its roots.
Hay una alegrÃa que no se puede esconder cuando comparto tiempo con mi sobrino mayor, esa mezcla de ternura y asombro que me invade al verlo transformarse poco a poco, en un adolescente. Ya no es el niño que corrÃa detrás de mà con preguntas infinitas y abrazos espontáneos. Ahora camina con más pausa, con ideas propias, con silencios que dicen tanto como sus palabras.
Pero lo más importante y que me alegra mucho es que sigue siendo él. Con esa chispa en los ojos cuando hablamos de música, de fútbol, de lo que sueña hacer cuando sea grande. Me encanta escucharlo, descubrir sus nuevos intereses, sus bromas más elaboradas, sus gestos que ya no son tan infantiles. Compartir con él es como mirar un hermoso atardecer, una transición suave, luminosa, que anuncia algo nuevo sin borrar lo que fue.
Cada salida juntos, cada conversación, cada momento en que me pide consejo o simplemente me acompaña en silencio, se convierte en un tesoro. Me emociona ser testigo de su crecimiento, de sus primeras decisiones importantes, de sus dudas y certezas. Me honra que confÃe en mÃ, que aún me busque, que me permita estar cerca en esta etapa tan delicada y poderosa.
Ser su tÃa en este momento es un privilegio. Porque no solo lo veo crecer, también crezco con él. Aprendo a soltar, a escuchar más, a celebrar sus logros sin invadir sus espacios. Y en medio de todo, me doy cuenta de que la adolescencia no es solo cambio, también es oportunidad. Oportunidad de seguir construyendo juntos una relación que evoluciona, pero que nunca pierde su raÃz.
