Dear Hive Blog community, this is my introduction, I am Leocarmen Rodriguez, I am 47 years old, Venezuelan, lover of sewing. Life made me mature in a very drastic way, to tell you about me is to tell you that at 24 years old I had my first relationship with someone named Alex Vivas, we met studying at the UDO Núcleo de Nueva Esparta, he studied computer science and I studied tourism, which I did not finish, At 25 years of age we had our beloved daughter Alexa Vivas Rodriguez everything was very beautiful until the economic problems began, at times he worked in hotels but when he felt like it he left him, I always had to find a solution for the welfare of my daughter, working in high school and private schools teaching English, In some cases I had to take the girl because her father simply could not take care of her, I animated children's parties to which I called "Payasitas BUBBALOO" I could not miss the mascot of the clowns my beloved Alexa, when I did not take her I left her with her unemployed father, I left in the morning and returned at night every Saturday and Sunday I got up at dawn to leave him and the girl breakfast, lunch and dinner, when I got home at night I found that the girl had not eaten anything because her father could not give it to her, I began to notice that the girl's head was bigger than her body, I was worried that she was not gaining weight.

After some time my mother contacted me, to inform me that they needed male receptionists in a hotel in Cumana, I took my savings and sent Alex to work, after he settled in my parents' house to work. Then I came to my homeland where my parents were with my daughter, after 3 months Alex quit his job again and with a child to support. When Alexa was 5 years old I traveled to Cuba to study and that brought me many problems in my relationship and I took the brilliant decision to pick up his clothes, shoes and personal things, throw them into big garbage bags and separate from him definitively, giving me the word to myself not to fall in love again to be father and mother to my daughter. My mother got me a contract as an office worker at the UDO Núcleo De Sucre, I was paid every 6 months, thank God that my parents helped me economically, because the girl's father completely disengaged himself from her. I felt devastated, the person with whom I lived for 5 years never valued me, I felt like a ship adrift, with no fixed course, a neighbor invited me to an Evangelical congregation "To God be the Glory", when I arrived on January 26th , I felt like a ship adrift, with no fixed course, a neighbor invited me to an Evangelical congregation "To God be the Glory". When I arrived on January 26, 2007, I felt very good, reminding me that despite all the things that happened God never abandoned me, he had something special in store for me, a purpose with me, when I entered the church the first thing they introduced me was a special boy Jose Gregorio Rodriguez, is a person of color, frizzy hair, his eyes are brown, is 1. He comes from a very humble family, his father died when he was 20 years old because of the Chaga disease coming from the chipo plague, leaving him alone with his mother who worked cleaning houses, he is the oldest of four brothers, he worked and lived inside the church, a boy of 30 years old with a skeletal neurological disability, that is almost does not speak only by means of signs and the right side of his body was left without a skeletal neurological disability, that is to say, he almost does not speak only by means of signs and the right side of his body was left without a skeletal neurological disability, that is to say, he is the oldest of four brothers, he worked and lived inside the church.
He had to undergo therapies so that the left side of his body could work with the same agility as his right side, but in spite of all these difficulties, he was and is a lover of the things of God, he likes woodworking, blacksmithing, and construction.
I decided to give myself another opportunity, to take another breath, I resumed my studies in another university not to be someone in life because a degree does not make a person, but to acquire knowledge, because it is never lost, on the contrary, we can transmit or teach others, when someone asks about a subject, know what you are going to say. He saw classes on Saturdays, from Monday to Friday he worked in the office, on Sundays we had church service, he wore his best suit and his best cologne, we talked a lot despite his little talk and with my beloved Alexa he had a very special treatment as if she was his own daughter, little by little he was filling me with his love for me and me for him. Our courtship was something very special, whenever we met he always gave me a flower for me and a chocolate for my beloved Alexa, I realized that not all the time we needed to talk to communicate, I knew by his gestures of his face when he was angry or when he was happy, his family at first did not like the courtship thought I was going to use him and make fun of him. One afternoon on April 20 we were in a supermarket buying food for the girl, when I was looking at the product, I turned to ask his opinion about the food, I noticed that he was kneeling like a black prince, holding out his hand to me and pronouncing the word "Marriage", God for me it was the most beautiful moment of my life, he was proposing marriage and I said: yes, yes, yes and a thousand times yes! but since I lived with my parents, he as a responsible man had to talk to them, it was on April 22nd that he came to my house to talk to me in spite of his linguistic difficulty, to ask for my hand in marriage. On June 7 of the same year I was baptized in the waters and we started with the preparations for the marriage, looking for a house to rent, on October 19 of that same year we got married in a civil ceremony and on the 20th of the same month we got married in church, it was another event that marked my life, I got married with the most beautiful champagne colored suit I could have with a very long tail accompanied by my beloved father, he already left with the Lord, but I gave him the satisfaction of taking his only daughter to the altar. The wedding was scheduled for 7 pm, but as the saying goes "The bride makes you wait", while I was getting ready at home, the time went very fast, the pastor and the people were very worried thinking that I was going to leave the groom on board, but finally I arrived at 9 pm, A niece of my husband was the gardener who was voting rose petals on the way, to give entrance to the children with the rings that were my beloved Alexa and my eldest nephew Ernesto, then came the procession of young people to give entrance to the bride, which had a girl who held her tail, my beloved negrito was waiting for me at the altar; After the wedding ceremony, the girl left with my mother, we picked up all the things, the gifts and took them to the rented house. Our honeymoon was a one in a million dream, we arrived at the hotel reception, we asked for the room key, my beloved husband carried me to the room where we consummated our marriage until dawn.
A year later, on November 18, my second and last daughter Rut Margarita Rodríguez R. was born, and we were surprised when they sold the house where we lived rented with us inside, we had to come to my parents' house to live in my room with my two girls and my beloved husband. We bought a piece of land to build our house, but due to life situations everything was paralyzed. However, we have continued to struggle, my husband has been a blessing in my life despite his disability while I worked and studied he took care of the girls, I graduated in 2012 as a graduate in Administration was a wonderful experience, that despite all the limitations to care for my husband, be a housewife, be aware of the things of my last baby, go to work, help do homework to the girl who is in school, If I have a sewing job to do, I have to get it ready when the client comes to pick it up and then at night, when the girls are asleep, study and prepare classes that are due on Saturday at the university, I achieved an objective, I reached a goal, receiving my degree was a wonderful experience, indescribable, definitely the one who wants can do more than the one who has.
Every day I am happy with my marriage, not because every day is a day of joy but because we learn to value each other every day, to communicate, to have confidence in each other and that respect is reciprocal. To have problems? all marriages have problems, people cannot get married, thinking about a divorce tomorrow, it is intolerable, getting married implies forming a family, raising children instilling values and good habits, watching them grow, guiding them about the good and bad things in life. It is important to know how to face marital problems with maturity in favor of a solution that benefits both parties, communicating, saying what you like and what you do not like, without shouting, without blows that make you lose respect, having patience with each other because every day you will learn and feed back, which will lead you to pass in time and space, when you look back on the years that have passed you will meditate and say: "we already have so many years of marriage and look we have gone through storms and challenges, the girls are grown up, everyone made their own life and here we are you and me, as two in love as the first time, until death do us part".
